Neither, you'll have nothing but hell if you do manage to get either one installed. Besides, there isn't tuning software available to do so.

It can be done but plan on a lot of work. If you are used to tuning then you will ahead of the rest of us if we tried. I think a piggy back system would work or something like Mega Squirt to manage what you need. I would love to see someone try it though so go for it.

Your drive train won't take the extra power and why would you want/need it anyway, is 300 H.P. enough?

Well my buddy supercharged his nytro and hasn't completed a single trip this year without problems! First off no one told him about enlarging the crankcase breather so he kept blowing out valve cover gaskets and the clutching is still not right! If you're really mechanically inclined I saw say do it yourself so you know the entire build from day one. They are a handful to get and keep running right when boosted! This is at sea level with 9 lbs of boost! Maybe turbos are more forgiven I don't know. Personally I would keep it stock and ride it.

disco mike is rite your drive train wont hold up ive seen many destroid and if your want more power the 6.2 litre buick v8 is pretty much a straight swap over however if you do go ahead with the turbo mods nissan patrole running gear is easy enough to modify and intall or it you dont wanna hack up the trans tunnel to fit the bigger box maxi drive have the diff and axel upgrade to make it bullet proof but it wont be cheap
