"This car sucks, so buy a turbo or a stupidly expensive turbo." Thanks dude.

I've been assigned to rework it. Basically, it's getting tossed in the trash and I'm starting from scratch. I'm thinking intake, exhaust, tune, turbo. Maybe pulleys too? What would you tell the n00b that just bought an 86 and wants to mod it?
Just so you don't think I was being sarcastic:

1) n00b and just bought it = learn to drive it and form an opinion of what you want to change, if anything.
2) Don't listen to what other people want to spend your money on without having experience.
3) Try to find an owner who has done what you are considering and see if they have regrets and if they will let you go for a ride in or drive their car.
