Not to try to change your mind or anything, but you will make about the same power supercharging your 2.2 as you will going turbo. That engine in stock form can only take so much, and you can pretty much max that out with an m62. You can definitely make a little more with a turbo, but you can piece everything together to bolt up an m62 for a grand or less. Just something to think about
I don't think you'll see much gain with a catless pipe until you do go forced induction, and even then the gains won't be much more

By the time you've done all that your looking at around 6-7k if not more
A built engine will be a couple g's in itself and if you do that your gonna need cams and springs and send the head out to be ported. Then there's the tuning... And if I'm not mistaken the early 2.2's have to go to trifecta to get a tune right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if that's the case that's another strike...
And this is after you get supporting mods like cooling, fueling upgrades, suspension upgrades...
All the money your talkin about spending + yours cars worth can be used to buy an lsj or be a decent down payment toward a lnf... If you waited a year like you were talking about. And you will have a much better platform to work with.
Don't won't to discourage you, a m62 2.2 would be a fun little daily but with the work your talking I would just get a lnf or lsj

well, if you do decide to go forged and get stronger sleeves, turbo might be the best direction, if you want to make over 300 hp. m62 with high octane and a pnp head will definitely get you close to 300, but more can be had from a turbo. but piecing together an sc kit is the best bang for the buck. and you can run a 3"-3.35" pulley safely on the stock motor. that will net you somewhere between 220-260 hp
