Upgrading my naturally aspired M111 engine to M111 with compressor

So I currently own a gorgeous 00's W203 sedan with the unbreakable 2.0 M111 engine on it, let's be honest it's not very powerful. I really love my car but I really would like to have some more torque at lower revs...
All that said I saw that mercedes released that same engine model with a compressor on it that pumped up those numbers, now my question is; is here in this forums any enthusiast that has done this particular modification? is it possible in first place? is there a guide (with a kit) in order to achieve this?

Did the M111 ever come without a supercharger on a W203? Always thought they did.

Outside the USA, yes. They even made an NA 1.8 m111.

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Great Mileage though. As far as upgrading, cost would be prohibitive.
Easier and cheaper to just buy a Kompressor model and fix it up.
We never had 2.3L sedan in US only the hatch for one year.
