There is no turbo kit produced for the NA. Your only option is to fabricate it by yourself....and that said, this is all covered in the FAQ and is about the most talked about thing here. In the past few days there have been several topics so just scrolling down or going to page 2 or three should be enough to find them. Searching for variations on "turbo 6 port" or "na turbo kit" or "na turbo install" should provide you with all you need.

But keep in mind that SonicRat's kit still requires you to supply the turbo, exhaust manifold, intercooler, piping, etc. 
So there's no bolt-on kit, at least currently.

Yeah, true that, though the last two i sold I had to source all that crap for the people, the turbo/manifold were used, the rest was new stuff that pretty much bolted in, but wasn't exactly cheap. I like leaving it where you provide the rest since it allows people to suit their needs better.

ok so if there isn't any turbo kits, how about a centrif. supercharger? i found a site that sells them (www.horsepowerfreaks.com) but there are so many i'm not sure what to get. Also if that doesn't work and i have to change the engine, how hard is it to get a 20b-rew into a s5?

i have someone that would put the 20b in for me, so i don't have to worry about that but are the supercharger kits on horsepowerfreaks.com? i am interested in more power but don't want to do anything drastic, such as the engine swap.
-someone posted before me didn't see the price nevermind.

Yeah, it's nuts, that's why if ya can't afford the supercharger, a 20B is out of your reach at the moment. Though, centrifugals cost more and perform less than a turbo would.

i have the money for a supercharger. that's why i'm asking these questions. How hard would it be to switch the NA for a t2? are should i just stick it out for a force induction system for this engine?

You can do a TII swap (ie turbo/manifolds/intercooler/electronics) for about $1000 or so if you shop around enough, and run about 240rwhp or so reliably. Though, this requires some hacking and modifying the manifolds a bit (not something I really like, thus why I made my own kit)

OK, now you have to start reading the FAQ. All of this is well covered. There is also an entire 20B forum here under the Rotary Performance section if you are serious. They have a rather informative FAQ as well.
