Attachec here (in the link below) is a pic of my turbo installation - I will get other pics and post them soon, dichiee.
Nicholasp27, here is what I have spent on the car so far:
Injen Cold Air Intake w/splashguard = $300 (sold for $100)
Set of Hyper White Bulbs (fog, main and bright) = $70
MP5 Badges = $5
SR Motorsports Rear Swaybar = $240
Kartboy Shifter Bushings = $20
Racing Beat Exhaust = $500
BEGI Turbo Kit = $2,900
ACT Clutch (not yet installed) = $400
As for adding power for cheap...hmm. I would go with a combination of the cold air intake and a catback exhaust. This combination will run you between $700 and $800 but give your car a better throttle response and sound, free up alot of breathing for the engine. This is not going to shoot your horsepower numbers through the roof, but it makes a noticeable difference. I would estimate that a combination like this would increase your horsepower by about 10 to 15 in the upper RPM band.
Turboing the engine gives an amazing boost in power but costs a good deal in parts and labor. Your other option is "go all motor" and upgrade both camshafts and move to high compression pistons. Either one of these options will of course require the use of high octane fuel. FMprotege has posted a gain of 70 horsepower to the wheels with the turbo, and forum member CHDesign has posted a gain of almost 40 horsepower to the wheels with his "all motor" setup.
Other mods I would reccomend; swaybar, short shifter and bushings. You shifting will be mush more precise and snappier with the addition of the last two, and your handling will be much tighter with the swaybar.
Like I said up top, I will get pics soon! Feel free to PM me or post here with any other questions!
