ok first things first....superchargers and turbos are completely different...turbos are basically "free horsepower" meaning it doesnt take any power to drive one.....it is driven by the exhaust to force air into the motor.superchargers are belt driven and it takes horsepower to drive one....this is a poor example but on drag cars it take i believe 600 hp to drive the supercharger on those cars(correct me if im wrong). all i can say about this is to read up a little about each of them and youll understand wut ive said a little better.
as far as freeing up some lag that youve got....you should have plenty of room to run a 3 inch exhaust system....for turbo cars you want to open the exhaust as much as you can....you lose a little bottom end but you turbo spools much faster thus making your power sooner and longer through the power band. you can also remove the cat or get a high flow cat and a straight through muffler.
if your car has a MAF sensor it might have a screen in there....if so you can remove the screen and that supposedly good for a couple more pounds of boost. also get a k&n drop in filter will let the air get to the turbo a little easier.
