There are no bolt on kits available that I know of, but you can always buy a centrifigul supercharger and fabricate your own mounts and oil & coolant lines and all that to make it work. A CSC setup typically costs $3k+ though. A turbo setup would probably be cheaper (maybe around $1-1.5k), but again you would have to fabricate your own stuff. Personally, I don't think it would be worth the money on that particular engine...I would sooner drop in a Supercharged 3.8 or just buy a Bonnie with a Supercharged 3.8 before I would try to get a lot of power out of that engine. Just my opinion though.

yeah, I agree, age doesn't mean a damn thing. I am the only person to work on my car.. yeah i've done a few things wrong, but i've corrected them.. and i'm only 14. If I were in your shoes, i'd leave it the way it is. My bonneville in the condition she is in now, is about 3 times faster than my mom'* beetle, and I have twice the power, and about twice the weight too. And mine needs a major tune up at the moment [and a new oil pan, but that'* another story]. Also the 440 T4 tranny can barely handle the power you've got, let alone a blower or turbo. I suggest a real nice tune up [ search around here, you'll see a quick, free, and great methods of improving the power, you already have.
