5.3 swap now. Built for boost later?

[Mbeef61]

I have tried to search the webs for topics but it’s hard to narrow down.

I am preparing my 5.3 swap now. Working on a mild rebuild and cam/springs/lifters etc. I planned on gapping the rings and doing head studs and other upgrades (ls9 gaskets) in preparation for boost later.

I feel like with parts for the rebuild, trans, and other swap parts to get it all in, I can’t afford boost now. But I would like it to be an option later with minimal effort and not having to pull the motor again later to break into it and add things.

I know there is always an expense to doing things twice. But I would like to build it for an easy add on of boost later.

What would be easier to add later? Turbo or SC?

I know with turbo I would need:
Oil line ( which I could tap now)
Manifolds
Tubing

Supercharger I would need
Different pulley?
Tubing

Seems like supercharger would be easier to add later? Seems like supercharger would be easier to add later but maybe I’m missing something.

Anyone else do this and have any pointers?
