it wont wreck the motor will it? few of my mates have told me that a turbo would stuff it after a year or so. i would have thought a super charger would have been worse if thats the case.

Sell it and buy a V8. It will be cheaper and worth more later on. A standard VY2 V8 manual with exhaust and a tune will get close to 270kW.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

You could do that. Will cost you about $3,000-$4,000. In todays economic climate you might get away with a $5,000 turnover for a V8. A turbo or blower could run into $8,000 or more.
