Is it your DD? How many miles do you drive it everyday? Do you sit in stop and go traffic all of the time?
Are you happy with the power that you have righ tnow?
If you want to go cheap pick up a set of ITR pistons and rings and have the motor rebuilt.. Will be fun enough to drive compared to what you have now..

Just for your own information, there are plenty of people here who have pieced together their own turbo kits for under a grand. I myself pieced mine together for $650, fairly inexpensive.
With the grand though i'd say definetely rebuild, can't do much with an unhealthy motor in the first place.

Personally, I would save the money for a house; but that's just me. I'm more impressed by all motor cars, as opposed to boosted ones.
