Save some more to get it boosted then tuned. But with the amount your gonna get, go ls/vtec. but boost will give you more power.

we just had this discussion in the db squad thread if you search around and peice together a kit it will cost about 1500 + tuning for something pretty decent look in the forced induction forum faq and you should find price on about how much stuff is
oh if you buy used stuff make sure you check that turbo for shaft play

$1500 is needed for just the basic turbo kit. then you gotta add the clutch, exhaust, tuning, etc. $2.5-3k would be much more realistic.

you can build your own turbo kit for cheap if you search around, but you have to consider a few things. are you doing the work yourself? or are you going to be paying a shop to install your turbo for you? different shops have different rates for tuning. generally, expect to pay anywhere from $100-$150 per hour, with at least a two hour minimum. also, don't forget you are going to want to have some extra money in the bank to account for any problems you may incur.
here is a link to one of the best tuners on the east coast, and his pricing.
