    So much fail in this thread.

    Look man. Stop asking the internet to make decisions for you bc the internet is stupid.

    1) Do a compression check and a leak-down test on the motor. That will give you a good idea of it's health. It's not healthy JUST b/c you know where you got it from and it wasn't abused. That matters ZERO. It's even worth paying a few bucks to get 3 pulls done on the dyno to see what it lays down.

    2) Any shop that can do the above properly will offer you suggestions on what your options are. The biggest factor is price. A wet kit can be had for $200 - $300 depending on how hard you look and how patient you are.

    A decent turbo kit will cost you $1800 - $4000 depending on how nice you want it setup.

    PS: Learn how to speak like an adult. Punctuation and capitalization goes a long way in helping you not look like a fucking dork.

    Your original post makes it appear that you didn't spend enough time at school at all. Maybe you should go back.

    This has nothing to do w/ what kid of car it is. ANY car can be boosted or sprayed. The rules don't change. And those rules are simple - they are based on how healthy the motor is from the start... which is why I said 1) compression check 2) leak-down test 3) dyno pull (optional, but is great for measuring your gains from stock).

    If that's the case then why the inquiry? The rules don't change much.

    Speaking of READING (see how we always get back to the SCHOOL subject w/ you - interesting) this is not the MAINSTREAM forum - this is the FORCED INDUCTION forum. Reading is fundamental. Try posting there if you only want them to answer next time.

    You're welcome for the answers... glad I could help. And the post above from Eminno is from Mainstream as he is the lead tech there.

    Good luck kid.
