IMHO, I wouldn't bother going through all the headaches for an extra 15hp. At most you can say 1lb. of boost is equal to 4-5hp. SO running 4-5lbs. of boost is only going to give you at most 20-25+ hp.
Which you should easily be able to generate with some simple bolt on's which would be much more easy and realible. In fact; Sweden Rally cars run Normally aspirated Saabs that have genrated over 250hp! So not all islost w/o a Turbo setup.
Your other option is just to grab a block on Ebay or at the local Junk-yard. Slap on the 2.1 head because it easily outflows the stock 2.0 head. And from their you will have everything you want without forcing your son's car to have any downtime. Allowing him to drive it until you are ready to slap the new motor in. Plus you can address and bad Motor Mounts, bushings, gaskets, etc. while you are swapping the motor out.
Sometimes the answers we get aren't what we want to here but in the end it will be well worth it if your son's car is in the condition that merits this conversion.
Hope this helps~
Best of Luck~
