As someone else already mentioned, are you really willing to deal with headaches, heartaches, and walletaches? It's better to buy a stock or lightly modded (as in intake, exhaust, etc.) twin instead.

So I have been looking at some turbo kits... just to browse. I seen one from Crawford Performance? I was looking at the +300 kit.
With the kit I think I would need a new clutch and fuel injectors at least... hm
-Edit
So I would have to replace the engine for that kit. So maybe I just stick with the 100 kit they do.
It's not just the engine you would have to replace... You would have to replace a whole lot of other components as well. You would be dealing with a money pit just the same as you would when buying a heavily modded car.

If you have no idea, go drive one first and see how you like it stock. Take it to a canyon or any similar winding road, where the fun factor of this car shines. If you still aren't satisfied with the power then, I would honestly suggest looking at a 370Z or a current-gen Mustang GT or Camaro SS.
