There are some old threads on here of people who went boosted and you can read about the hassles they've had.b also a bolt on kit is rarely ever true bolt on

Just something to think about
I don't honestly believe there's a straight-forward solution. You can't say that an engine swap is the absolute best way to go.
Everyone has different preferences and different goals they want to achieve.
Some people honestly don't wanna go through the hassle and difficulty of pulling the wholle motor out along with wiring harness, ECU, etc. Without the proper tools and expertiese you're setting yourself up to have a bad time.
Is a supercharger or turbo a better way to go? Maybe, maybe not. Might be easier to install but harder to properly tune.
The trend nowadays is to have a small engine with forced induction, making big power.
(Chevy Cruise- 1.4L turbo = 154hp; Honda Civic- 1.5L turbo = 174hp; Kia Soul - 1.6L turbo = 201hp; etc...)
Like I said before, there's no one solution that works for everyone. Each of us has to make a choice as to what they want to do if they want to add extra power to their car.
