I would stop spending money on .2 hp parts and start building a junkyard turbo kit. I think my last junkyard kit cost me $400 for 90hp.

best bet...new motor ...but if i dont want to change the motor..then you just do simple bolt ons with internals because i dont wanna turbo or what now...so new motor...or do simple boltons like i/h/e....cam gears/cam shafts.....cheaper coilovers are like omni power..600 bucks...and yea..
