If you are having to ask I think........
I would first start to research and learn about both types of systems.
Both have pro's and con's.
You should see if there are any available kits for youre car offered. i casually looked and saw none? But that was as I said a causal search.

Before you do any upgrading performance on your engine you should do a "COMPLETE" heath testing of your engine.

have done all of that
was more so asking for other opinions on what they think might be cool and unique or what might be a easy straight semi drop in engine swap
and nope no kits was looking at the turbos of the mid golfs
no clue for charger yet haven't looked into it well enough and as for engine I'd love to do something like a 4g63 swap if possible
but I'm curious to see other ideas from a different view point

When it comes to such projects, there are three key metrics of which you can typically pick two:
  1. Powerful
  2. Reliable
  3. Inexpensive
Based upon the questions you've been asking, it doesn't sound like you have a portfolio of the necessary skills to do much of the work yourself, as such, nothing you do will be even remotely inexpensive (except maybe a standalone NOx system). Let me put it to you a different way, do you have a budget large enough to equate to several times the value of your car? If not, I strongly suggest you abandon the project now.

yeah no budget isn't so much an issue I just want a sleeper people won't expect
