If you go aftermarket engine management you can do things like mild cams, bore, stroke etc. I think there is stuff available.
Bolt-on power yeah supercharging has been done relatively sucessfully.

Altho in most cases it's more cost effective, easier, and just better to put an EJ20turbo in your car.

would a EJ25 have similar Power to a EJ20T??? in a L series?

No, the EJ25 is only slightly more powerful than the EJ22. It does have a fair bit more torque. But it's not really worth upgrading from EJ22 to EJ25 - not enough of a difference. Look it up, it's a matter of maybe 10kw I think.

That is why most people go for EJ22 upgrade as its a big difference from EA82. Plus EJ25 is harder to get than EJ22.
