I don't want to speak for Ed V. but from what he told me he converted his entire engine to CIS and it's able to handle the amount of boost he's generating without the need for extra injectors.

As for the turbo vs supercharger question, oye you should've been on the 911 rennlist a few weeks ago. Coming from a background of both I'll say that turbo's are more entrenched in the automotive marketplace than superchargers and are therefore cheaper to buy/fix/replace. Secondly, for custom applications like these, you can't beat a turbo for flexibility. A turbo's wastegate can be controlled by a bleed valve or electronic boost controller to compensate for ambient temperature or other factors. With a supercharger the only thing that will change its output is to have a new pulley machined. There are at least a dozen other reasons but I'll leave it at that
