Don't waste your money... there won't be a big enough change in HP to warrant them... for under $2000, you can reliably turbocharge that car and make 300 at the wheels... just doing headers might net you 5-10 hp...

just my opinion though...

not gonna happen with a turbo car that didn't come that way from the factory... just how it is...

as far as size... the clubna-t kit has worked pretty well for lots - its either a 60-1 or a 61... makes about 300 whp on low boost and has almost everything for like $1400... add fuel management and an intercooler and you are good to go...
