3 very different choices so is say it depends on your situation. Namely funds, ability (if looking to DIY), consideration to reversibility, long term gains etc etc etc. It's probably worth considering some of these and refining your query.

Plenty of information on Turbos and 2ZZ swaps on here. Some Supercharger information on here too, but plenty more on Spyderchat where they are more common. The related threads should help to guide your thoughts.

All three are possible at the same time, but would be expensive to get right.

I have only owned and driven the Turbo option so can only comment on that. I love my Turbo'd Roadster just as much as pre-Turbo but for different reasons.

Now there are plenty of different turbo, and associated kit, options depending on your end goal. Depending on your confidence with a spanner, they can all be DIY plumbed in to a 2 (as both of mine have). My advice if you go down that route is to take your time, be considerate of what you do and where things go, don't skimp, don't cut corners and plan plan plan. It'll make for a much more solid solution in the end!!

Best have a drive of a few to see which one suits your driving style. I love my turbo the extra torque and the sound does it for me everytime.

Thanks lads seen couple engines on flea bay for about 1300 notes but that's if I trust them or not or a exige engine done up for 4200 suppose if go that route can always add both at a later date but then that's a lot of money on a 14 year old car I'm a night mare on choices lol.

Haha think your Defo right s12vea know who wants to lend me all three for a weekend  s:) :) s:)

Turbos:

Good gains for the outlay, with the possibility of even more improvements. Can be expensive though, as booooost it addictive. Naturally not going to have the same reliability or longevity as a stock N/A car.

Superchargers:

As above really, but kits are more expensive and less scope for tuning due to less aftermarket support for this.

2ZZ:

My favoured route. You get OEM reliability, a decent increase in power, and the noise up to 8,500RPM is mental! You however are more limited to tuning options, and you get less torque than forced induction, but circa 210HP in a roadster is perfect if you ask me. Fairly cheap if you can swing a spanner too.

I believe my 2zz has a 1zz manifold off ebay. The flange was cut off and a 2zz flange welded on.

Snug fitting ones with no leaks are best ...

I have a brand new unused CHE 2zz manifold that I can sell if you want? £170 delivered saves you import and shipping costs.

Also Zorstec still have (I think) a full stainless system that they will want shot of. Maybe room to negotiate on the price. This should have similar characteristics to PPE's system.
204.2 BHP Silver 2000 MR2, 2006 2ZZ engine, Apexi PFC, Zorstec full stainless system exhaust (including 400 cell cat & race header), titanium heat wrap, MRW underdrive pulleys, handmade short ram intake, Hondata intake gasket, Celica gearbox ratio's, LSD.
Edge 306 speakers, Alpine CDE 235BT, sound deadened doors.
Full facelift conversion including bracing, sub frame, the works...
