Engine swap, Turbo Kit or Super ChargerEngine swap, Turbo Kit or Super Charger

Guys,

I am looking to increase the power of my Fit.
At the moment I am looking at 3 options.

Engine swap, EG16 engine would be for me ok as the K20 is a beast!
This swap will set me back around US5000,-

Turbo Kit from Trust.
This will set me back around US4000,-

Supercharger.
This will set me back around US3000,-

What will be the best choice and is easy to do. With that I mean not changing the drive train etc....

EG16 engine... What on earth is that? I've been a Honda entusiast for a loooooong time and have never heard of that.... did you perhaps mean an engine from an EG6 civic? or a D16 engine?

B16 perhaps? i'm not an expert here, but i don't think it will fit into the Fit anyways... different configuration right? i've seen b16, b18, and b20 on an EG though...

The best would be the k20. Bang for your buck the best you can get. Cause if you are like me I have the sc and instill want more power. I regret not dropping in the k for a little more money.

kraftwerks as a great supercharger kit, but MN_fit had problems with the SC putting too much load on serpentine and making it slip because of winter... i think it was also eating them like crazy but not sure (not ideal if you're going to drive in snow)

you should definitly go the turbo route... there are a lot of options on the market

EDIT: just seen you have a ge8... i don't think there's a kit yet, but Lyon as made one himself he's the one you should ask... (but doing research should be your first step)
