this topic has been brought up TOO MANY times already, maybe not on this forum but others. The GZE block is a better platform to start with when you plan on turbo/super-charging. A stock GZE block will hold up just fine with pretty high amounts of boost. The problem in making power usually is the restrictive SC12 or stock electronics. If you've seen people refer to turboing a 4A the chance they're using a GZE block is 99/100 unless they've done modifications to the internals of the engine.
What 86mister2, WIWhite87 and canadam have said is absolutely true.
If you want a supercharger, get the complete swap(block/head/intake/exhaust manifolds/electronics and wiring). Supercharing a 4AGE will be a waste of time/money and in the end may or may not turn out as reliable as a stock GZE setup. Save yourself the hassle and source out a complete swap if you so desire to have a supercharged 4A. It's not all that expensive.
