whats your goals? i/h/e wont get you any amazing gains but they will be noticable. but, the exaust will be the only thing that you could still have with a turbo, so intake and headers are pointless if your gonna boost
 
I want like 200-250 hp, I think the stage 1 kit might even do that, and I don't think I could do that with a million little thigns which is why I'm thinking boosting is the best idea, and if you boost doesn't it open the door to a lot more hp adding mods

250hp cant be met with mere bolt ons... but i wish it could. you could do basic bolt ons and run a good shot of nitrous, that would probably be cheaper, and thats what im doing till i can afford a turbo. i dont think the stage one will get you there, it claims only 225 to the crank, and i think thats rarly met. a stage 2 would definatly get you there, but its much more expensive. but if you have the money go for it
 
If u want to go fast! >>>> TURBO.
If u want to go fast once and a while, and have a reliable car(MAYBE)>>>> NITROUS
If u r about show just do basic bolt-on. and work the exterior.

If I were u, I will go for turbo (if u can affort it). (remeber u might need to rebuild the internal to get u to 250Whp.

LAter,
Tito
