SolO- hey u put ur "AMBER" bulbs back on.. they look WAY better than those clear ones u had on before.... as for turbo kit? i highly suggest Peter farral.. the reason being is that his stage one kit comes with the TEC3 computer... or if u know enough about turbo.. any kit will do as long as u buy the tec3 and tune the motor... the motor shall handle the power from the turbo..
bruce nomura knows wassup he'll tell u all about the lovely tec3 comp... or what i was thinking of doing is just rechipping the Ecu.. but i'm not sure it'll work on our car.. but u never know until u try....

Well, it's tough for you West Coast guys, due to most of all kits are located from the East. Also, 400+whp will be tough for the fact that a shippable kit which utilizes stock compression (no head gasket swap needed) will get you about 350whp. If you insist on requiring more than 400whp, then you must lower compression, which involves much more work and tunning. At the same time as you mentioned, the $$ factor increases. Also, if you are an automatic, at 400+whp your tranny will require some modification to make it shift correctly (more agressive valve body, and line pressure modification). If you have a 5spd, then at 400+whp your tranny will definitely need to be swaped (although there is just ONE person with over 500+whp using stock 5spd with just a clutch upgrade but don't count on that). What ever the case, if $$ is a concern, I would suggest around 350whp achieving with stock CR, and you should be very happy. PM me if you want to go into more details. Take care. Oh yeah, boost is very very expensive for our cars.
