Default Boost for a 2.5 nothing

I have a Defender with a mil-spec 2.5 inline 4 diesel. Love the vehicle.

I am going to move her up into the mountains, and feel she needs a bit more power --- not the 600 hp mosters, but like 1/3 more.

Debating a 200tdi or 300 tdi swap out. Or even that 5 cyclinder Mercedes diesel. (Or Izuzu or whatever). But that is quite a project.

I was hoping someone had a bolt-on turbo or supercharger that would give the old I-4 just enough to make the car not slow down to 40mph going up a steep Rockies mountain highway. Not keen on getting rear-ended by an 18 wheeler, and don't want to **** people off in traffic slowing down everything.

Any ideas?

I'd love to avoid the cost of a full engine swap, as I am not looking to light the world on fire, just don't want to be a hinderance to navigation.
