Personally I think a supercharger is a much better fit for this car, if you want to keep it a smooth and responsive driver's car. While I've owned and driven a few turbocharged sports cars in the past, I can't say they were necessarily driver's cars. Maybe the RX-7 and Mazdaspeed MX-5; those are the only turbocharged driver's cars that come to mind.

Yeah, small turbos are OK. My 2G Eclipse has a tiny Garrett which is good. But most cars have medium-large sized turbos which have too much lag to be fun and responsive IMO.
