You have to do a turbo swap if you want a turbo, end of story...do a search here, it has been covered many times.

He could possibly supercharge the engine - like those Paxton ones attached to the front of the motor.

I suspect the stock motor could handle 6-7 PSI boost - but I'd put some bigger injectors in over the stock and convert to Mass Air
