Depends on what you want. You need to list some goals for your car or you'll get countless people telling you what they think is best when its your car and you're the driver. For your question though, ZZP just came out with a supercharger kit for you 2.2 guys and it looks pretty decent plus you get that nice whine and there will be a noticeable hp gain that should keep your attention for a while. But the kit is a little pricey so you might be better off piecing it together yourself (people are very helpful on this site so ask around if your not sure or even better search others have done it). As for the Turbo, ZZP has a great kit for that as well (actually priced the same as the SC kit so you'd probably be getting more for your money going with this choice). Turbo's have a greater range of power and if built well will net you more power than a SC, and have very little lag. But again, If I were you I would use the search and look through the site and see what appeals to you more. Good Luck. Research is the key here for whatever goal you're trying to hit.

It's a pretty nice kit you should see really nice numbers compared to stock and very little lag if you get this installed and tuned well plus it bolts up fine to an auto.
