IMO a turbo kit is the cheapest way to a lot of power all the time. Had I bought a turbo kit when I got my car I would have spent half of what I had spent now and been much faster than I am currently.

I would have to agree with Fast420A on that one, you will be much more happier if you just save your money and get the damn turbo. Sure wish I would of done that instead of all the shit I have bought for my ride.

www.howellautomotive.com has the AFX underdrive pulley for $160 with belts. This is a 30% underdrive which is the most you can have on the street with out alternator problems.
When it comes to turbo kits, the HRC kit gives you the most for your money, including tech support, gauges, warranty, etc. . . Go to www.hahnracecraft.com for the HRC kit. Star is aanother kit that is out there but there is no website for the company directly, just a reseller website which is www.turbogs.com
There is another kit that is going to be coming out in the next few months from NER but that hasn't gone through any testing yet but it's basically the star kit with a few changes.

dood my advide to you is et a full 2.5 inch catback. get an underdrive pulley and save the rest for a turbo the turbo will com with an intake and the rest of the exhaust stuff. maybe a bored throttle body before you throw on the turbo but they can be expensive unless you don't mind some downtime. definelty save for turbo
