If you want to street driving your car daily, best bang for your dollar would be a bolt on turbo kit. But it takes time and effort to maintain a good turbo setup.
If you go all out, you can stay NA, just lighten your car to the bare minimum.
It all comes down to power weight ratio. D engine might not make that much power (in NA form) compare to other platforms, but with a light vehicle, you will feel differently, for sure.

Good lord, I didn't realize you were up that high already.
I turboed mine with right about 120k on it and have put another 20-25k on it.

From what I understand, BauleyCivic just very recently went turbo. I remember his post asking if his oil return line was okay.

Don't jump into boosting your car. Learn about your car first. I hate to see you boost your car then the **** blows up 'cause you don't know what the **** your doing. Learn first about all the **** that goes along with forced induction.
