IMO....going into a supercharger project on a new car...installed and tuned by a capable shop....you should budget in the 10k range
charger kits run around $6k with taxes and shipping...add another $1k for polished
the "while we're in there" stuff including extra gauges usually get's into the $1k range pretty quick (fuel pump usually needs an upgrade too)
labour for install will ding you around $1000
dyno-time and tune around $500-$600
so you can do it for under 10k....but you'd be best to budget in that range imo

Depends what power limits you are shooting for. A COMPLETE setup running stock boost levels (5-7)psi you could have done for 10k.
If you are wanting over 450-500rwhp then you're going to want a built bottom end and need more in the way of better fuel pump setup, injectors, possibly fuel rails, oil pan/pump, clutch, tranny. Also depends if you want to do the heads and if you want to be able to plant any of that power to the ground. Then you're talking aboot a bunch of suspension parts, possibly rear axles, a trutrac, maybe even swapping to a 9" setup. Then you've got a larger intercooler/heat exchanger. Can't forget a bigger/better maf setup. A forged input shaft. Also if you want cams or not. You'd want a bigger exhaust or atleast some LT headers to help it breathe. Possibly switching to a 8 rib pulley setup. a thump rrr tensioner. All the necessary guages. better motor mounts or a bmr k-member with built in motor mounts. Electric water pump. And then you have to factor in labor which of course goes WAY up if you do cams/installing forged internals. You wouldn't want to go any other way than dyno tuning which would be a good 500+. There's a few other things I've missed but you get the idea.
If you are going full out for big power you better budget 15000-20000. Especially with the current exchange rate+shipping+taxes etc. When compiling your list of parts take the US prices and add 35% more to each thing. That should give you a fairly accurate assesment of what the costs will be to get the stuff to your door.

If you're talking stock boost levels and not everything needed to get it to hook up good... pretty much.
