well,......supercharger will be the only thing for that price range.
by the time you get turbo parts, tune, and engine managment you will be over 5k,......most likely even if its used too.
although the Greddy kit cant be found for less.
supercharger=bolt on and go easy maintence
turbo=more power potential, more maintence, more money
but i prefer turbo.

Used kraftwerks would be the best in my opinion if you could find a used one.
honestly, $2k wont get you much in terms of FI.
$2k will get you a mix-n-match, parted, incomplete kit that you'll have to piece together, and you'll still have to spend for the extra parts and tuning, which, as stated earlier, puts you over $5k.
good luck
tho

you're better off taking the 2gs and saving it, you need 6gs for any kind of HP, either super or turbo, and even then you're gonna be average at best.

My setup is for sale:

It's more than 2,000 but like some other posts have mentioned, 2 grand is not going to get you a good setup...not even a used one.

mine is for sale also, still more than $2,000 but not by much more ($2300 shipped continental usa).
you can get a decent kit, just it's going to be an older non-aftercooled kit not the newer aftercooled versions or updated/revised supercharger models.
the old kit uses a novi1000 and now companies are going with novi1200, novi1220sl (selflubers) as they are more efficient.
a used non-ac kit (stock boost) will require an aftermarket fuel pump ($100), a wideband sensor ($150), colder sparkplugs ($40), no engine management, no dynotuning, and no aftermarket clutch.
$2300 + $100 + $150 + $40 = $2590 (assuming you do all the install work yourself)
