by the time you add up standalone engine management, an exhaust manifold, turbocharger, downpipe, oil/water feed and returns, intercooler, boost pipes, low comp pistons or *cringe* a decomp plate, injectors etc etc etc you are looking at big (relatively) money, probably in the ballpark of installing a running second hand YB
the bloke said he wants a bit more power...
Carbs/XE/24v cossie
with a spercharger you should lower comression too, but you don't need to.
you get more torque and higher bhp for a given boost pressure on a higher compression ratio engine.
you'd easily be able to run 7 or 8 psi without doing anything to the engine whether turbo or SC. as for management, then megasquirt it.
bit of fabrication you'd see good power for less than £600-700
