You don't have to go aftermarket for nice wheels. I just upgraded from factory SE wheels to GT and made a world of difference. And for only $250 for wheels and tires.

Turbos and systems are high maintenance and require constant(pretty much) supervision. Plus on an Ecotec, you probably need to redo all the internals. Of course I'm not telling you what to do, but from a practical viewpoint, I wouldn't put that kind of money in that car. Hail, if you want to upgrade HP, do IHE and a pulley and bigger carb and call it a day. Later, QD.
