if you want to make a decent amount of power you should just go with a turbo...first you have to decide what kind of hp you want to make is it going to be a daily driver or a street track car? its up to you

Dont go ebay.

Turbo and daily driver is a good option, But search for boost limits on stock internals.

A sohc turbo will be fast if its well done and well tuned. Buy everything and save some money for tuning So you can install and go to the tuner right away.

Do what your wallet tells you... Have a plan before you start spending money. Dont rush and DONT skimp on the important parts... You will regret it in the end. Its not the amount of money you spend. But its how and where you spend it.
