Correct! The stock computer isn't setup for boost. It doesn't compensate for the added air, because it doesn't recognize/care that a boost condition is occuring.

Supercharger kits usually come with a reprogramed PCM/ECU/EPROM or a piggy back system that rectifies that issue and modifies/replaces the computer program with one that will work in a boost application.

As far as the thread topic, I don't know of any Turbocharger "kits" on the market. Doesn't mean you can't have a custom setup built, but it would be more pricey than the $4,000ish supercharger kit that's already out there.
