Much more information is needed. Is it an auto or manual? What are your goals for the car? What is your budget? etc. . A turbo or supercharger won't be cheap or easy. The rest of the car from the fuel system to the rest of the drivetrain should be upgraded to accomodate the added hp. I would suggest doing a search on here and learning from what others have done.

Turbos and superchargers are nice but youll be spending more or the same as a stroker build and making the same power on a stock bottom end. Its really up to you, but i would wait for a forged internal build before going that route.

How many miles on your engine?
