    Ur gonna need twice the amount you have now to turbo your car. Also, with so much power, ur gonna want to have better brakes, reinforcements, etc.....but i would go the turbo route!!! Good luck.

    I vote for the turbo...
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    If you can seriously do the turbo, then DO IT! Otherwise, if you're thinking what about mods in the meantime, I'd say do the mods that you won't have to replace after the turbo goes in, like handling/suspension and brakes.
