You can build a turbo setup better with less money than an s/c car, but depending on what kind of turbo/s/c you go with, they have their advantages and disadvantages. Supercharger has instant power, while unless you have a really small turbo, spool up takes at least a split second. Generally low end power with an s/c, while a turbo usually gives better high end power.

Superchargers dont work that well with a 4 cylinder, the reason why they work on v8 is becasue of the torque. I'd say turbo it
