Not to mention a remapped turbo gives you 200 hp and 200 lb.ft on standard internals. Considering the effort, the 1.8T conversion in a ZS would be well worth the time and money.
As for supercharging, I've got a supercharged 1.9L VVC K series in my Midget. Supercharging was a lot of work (I had done the K conversion previously), but worth it. I have massive torque from everywhere (it will accelerate uphill in 5th gear from 1000 rpm, quite quickly) and quite a lot of power, with no lag.

Sounds like a monster!
Turbos seem the cheapest way for a power increase but still not cheep 
The pipe dream continues
