just make your own kit. I like the 5s since it makes way more torque. Get a reliable 250 out of it

You CAN turbo the the 5-sfe, but at great expense. The head is an "economy " head and not really built for high performance. It doesn't have the water pathways needed for cooling that area of the engine from the additional heat from turbocharging..
Rippmods makes(or used to, not sure if they still do) a supercharger kit for the 5sfe. If you're even interested in going that route.
