I agree with others that a supercharger is a torque curve downgrade, and it is likely not necessary because your turbo issues should be fixable. People run turbos in far hotter conditions and climates. Either the AFR is way off or the turbo has damage to the fins/shaft or there is a melted cat causing an obstruction or the thermostat has failed. I don’t know, but this is fixable.
I just realized I never told you how to tell if the thermostat is stuck. One way is to remove it and replace it, but to confirm it is bad, you boil the thermostat in water and see if the copper plunger opens. If it maintains its size then it is old and frozen. A stuck thermostat usually causes an engine to run hot or run cool. If your engine is running hot, but your radiator cap is cool to the touch then that is a tell tale sign that the thermostat is stuck.
