If you concerned with the best cost to power gain ratio and want to avoid wasting time or money the 86 platform is a poor platform. I would suggest anything with a 4g63 engine such as a 1st or 2nd gen eclipse or an evo 1-9. A 3rd runner up would be the 4b11 powered evo 10. for about $4,000-$5,000 you can double the power output to the wheels.
~$1000 Stock frame turbo with 30r wheel or larger
~$350 1200cc injectors
~$450 dual walbro drop in fuel kit
~$50 Manual boost controller
~$50 boost gauge
~$100 3" down pipe
~$100 3" test pipe
~$350 3" catback
~$50 drop in filter (hack up the stock intake lid for more air flow)
~$350 intercooler of some sort
~$250 Intercooler piping
~$600 272/272 kelford cams (or larger size)
~$200 tuning cable + software payment
~$100 O2 pipe
~$300 Ported throttle body
Grand Total ~$4300
cost/power ratio: ~$17.20 per horsepower
*Most prices are for used items
**Self installation is assumed
***Self tuning is assumed
****On e85 this set up will place you north of 500hp to the wheels on both dynojet and mustang dynos
*****Factory evo 8/9 power to the wheels averages between 230-250hp
Hope this helps you in finding the best bang for your buck automotive power gains.

Yup just line it up with the hump and everything falls in place. It is a pretty easy install and the included instructions are pretty clear in the steps you take.
