Forced induction, likely a supercharger, from one of the tuners. G Power claim +95 hp on that engine with their stage 1 kit, and go up from there. No comment on how safe it is, you'd have to ask someone who owns one.

More power, reliability, low cost. Pick any two.

Yes, I thought you might be (unpleasantly) surprised... I had the info handy because I'd previously tried to find any options for a hp and/or torque increase for the 4.8i.
