Given the cost, I'd really suggest you save up money to sell your current car and buy a GT or 3RB.

Bolting on a supercharger will the the cheapest option as you won't have to make a lot of changes as compared to a turbo conversion.

Compared to a turbo conversion selling your car and buying a GT like others have mentioned will be a lot easier and save you $$ in the long run.

Or buy a wrx/GT front cut and transplant it into your car.

I'd sell the 2.0 and buy a GT if it were up to me.

Remember if you spend all this money on a new motor, you're also stuck with an (inferior :D) 2.0R interior and small brakes etc.
