Having driven and built both, I'll turbocharge, especially since its easily been done before on this configuration. The only thing that may turn out to be more expensive than your typical conversion is upgrading the direct injection fuel system. It may only be a matter of finding compatible upgrade parts, or we may have to wait for aftermarket support. Who knows until we see the actual car. A supercharged setup would appear quite complex, and would rob too much torque, in my opinion.
As others have said, these days turbo lag is really not an issue anymore. As long as you pick the right turbo and build your motor accordingly, you wont notice much lag. A good tune is also essential.
To be honest, a 2.5 turbo swap from an STI would probably be simpler than trying to convert this 2.0 N/A DI to forced induction, but that is another thread...
