Default What should I do to boost my cars HP?

Hey guys, I have a 1990 Acura Integra GS, I was thinking of putting a turbo onto, I would have to reprogram and all that would not take very long but a couple of my buddys said that my MPG would go down and right now im AVG about 30 mpg. What all can I do to my car to boost the HP with out putting a turbo onto it, I know that I cannot simpely put a turbo onto my car, it would be a slow and mildely long process to do but it would work after a while. Anyway any help would do great, the car is pretty much stock and is sitting at about 130 HP. Thanks all.

Bolt ons are a good start. Intake header exhaust throttle body intake manifold. Build up your head for some performance cams. There is alot you can do.

Numerous options are available but the correct answer depends on your budget. Since you seem to be just starting out, go with bolt-on upgrades (intake, header, exhaust) and see about the next step down the road, after you've done more research.
