Not to thread jack or anything but why go through all of this?
You could do a cheap custom turbo build for less headache and make more power, or LS1 swap and make 300+ hp/tq base.
You can do what you want, just seems like a lot of extra work and time verses the easier options to me.

it's all about trying something different and fun, even if it's harder and more expensive.

The extra work doesn't bother me and the costs are going to be less than an LSX swap if I keep bargain hunting. So far it is just...
$150 for the Gen V M90
est $175 for the output flange
est $300 for the rest of the piping
$375 for water:air intercooler
$300 injectors
$700 Megasquirt ECU
$400 headers and exhaust
So around $2400 for this idea. There is no way I can see an LSX swap coming in for under that amount. Everything is just way too expensive when going that route unless you buy subpar parts.
As for turbo I know I could end up with MONSTER hp but I want instant torque instead. The supercharger is much easier to control boost pressure unlike a turbo with chance of boost spike. I was going to go Holset turbo mode, but changed it up for M90 power
