Along with your lightweight crank pulley and all your other good ideas.

No? You never called me, or called me out, if that's what you mean. If you did I'm sure it went really well for ya. Let's not ruin a thread here. We all know that your SC is ancient and that you're going to boost the hell out of it and you're baller status for doing it. Congrats. Back on topic plz.

Turbo could potentially produce more power than supercharger so theres no need to waste money on that.

how many miles it has is not the best thing to judge everything in life off of.
Has the motor been maintained properly, check all the gaskets and belts.
perform a compression test, if healthy and within spec then I would slap a turbo on it.
