Turbo's and Superchargers

Hey I was wondering I'm new to the whole car scene. I bought myself a Toyota 2001 Celica GT-S. Its got a 1.8L engine with 180hp .. however it only has about 130lbs of tourque so I am wanting to do some upgrades, I want this car to be drivable. I was looking at a Supercharger. But I'm hearing that they can damage "weak" engines. I was wondering if anyone knows if its safe to put a supercharger on a 4cylinder 1.8l like mine ? Or if anyone has any tips they could pass on it would be appreciated.
