Boost and Intercooling
Boost and intercoolling are a little tricky. The more backpressure you have, the more boost that is needed to overcome the additional backpressure making the air to the intercooler hotter. I have heard figures of about 8 psi being the break even point, but I'm sure it depends greatly on the efficiency of the turbo, the backpressure and efficiency of the intercooler etc.
S/C or Turbo? Good question. I don't think its been answered yet on the turbo end. On the S/C end, you might consider LANs kit. Unless you want to DIY. Personally I wouldn't go through modifying another SVX. Too time consuming. I do love the car though.
