Make sure you figure out how much boost your engine can take without building it up. Supercharger will be more fun, turbo may be faster. SC will give you instant throttle response. It'll have that nice jolt of accel. straight off the line. Turbo will lag and the power will come on slower. It won't feel as fast, even if it is.

I have to agree.
Have your car dyno'd, see what it REALLY makes right now, then dyno it when you have added whatever mods you are going to. You'll have a much more accurate idea of what improvement was made that way, especially compared with WAGs.
I think you are looking in the right direction with wanting to improve the flow of exhaust and air intake, but I think your gains will be more like 10-20hp total, than 50hp total.
