In a motor swap you will also have issues with the computer but i belive you can put a turbo easier then a supercharger
You can add nos for a lot less and i dont think you will have problems

Superchargers have a couple of advantages. They are quickness, simple maintenance, and easy installation. Their disadvantages are uses Hp to compress the air and intercoolers are not so effective.
Turbochargers have a couple of advantages. They are driven by exhaust heat (not the wind coming from your tailpipe.) The turbo lowers the exhaust heat by about 300 degrees. This was heat you were throwing away, so there is no Hp used by the "turbolader" itself. Turbos have a couple of disadvantages. It takes them a moment to "wind up" to 100,000 rpm. This is turbo "lag" and is noticable if you start at idle. If you are already doin' 60, the trip to 120 is exciting. Just don't get the "teabag" caught in the five way harness, yeow! Turbos also have a severe maintenance problem with that bearing in the oil circuit. The bearing makes it own coke, but not the kind you can drink. There is also the problem with exhaust gasses passing through the waste gate. Ugly is about all you can say about that.
My choice is a turbo, just 'cause the whine is so much more pleasurable.
The advice earlier in the thread to just buy the AMG model is sterling. They are Superchargers in the C55, but at the highest form of the art. You will save money because you get the brakes, tires, wheels, styling, and bragging rights of an AMG.
The first German customer to ride in the C55 saw the sticker price and declared:
Auch, Mein God! and the name AMG was established.

The supercharger does require a large portion of the HP it adds just to run the blower. That, and the instant boost, are the biggest differences compared to the Turbo performance.

perhaps you're being a little too harsh... you don't want to "hert" his feelings now do you? I think "eigther" way, it's a tad bit much.
