Supercharge or Turbo for a 07 C230 Manual Transmission?

I have a 2007 C230 it is a V6 2.5L engine, six speed Manual. i want to boost the performance its 201hp is way to low for me. i dont know which will give me better performance, a supercharger or a Turbo. does anyone have any suggestions on Mods that i can do to this car?

as im not to concerned about going fast, i havent looked into mods for engine as of yet.. but just keep checking back, some of these guys have gone all out! and someone will be around soon to recommend something!

and if price isnt an object i believe kleeman supercharger would be the way to go but like i said, i dunno anything about underhood mods

Heck no, those are too much money. He should have gotten a Mustang GT, manual trans. When you get bored, twin turbos or s/c for 400HP. Maybe even a convertible for those nice days like today, 75F in So Cal.

I can get an SLK350 coming of lease at the end of the year, or a brand new GT convertible or the new Camaro if it's out, it's a tough choice.

No such thing as a turbo engine for a merc (how many times has that been said on this forum?). . . best mod would be a w204 C63 and call that a day

Well... If he's looking for affordable speed, then yea, the stang will work. He just wants a peppier C class with a manual trans. I think the c350 will do the trick.
