If you want to blow money on your car I would suggest this:
Window tint, better stereo, light weight wide wheels and sticky tires. Any preformance cat back muffler, and use the rest on track days, autox days.

Once you get better upgrade to coilovers and brake pads. And more track/autox days

And that's pretty much what I was getting at.

Also,for me,I wouldn't ever go turbo without upgrading the brakes and getting wider wheels.Another thing to consider when adding more power is a new drive shaft and axles.See how the price is just skyrocketing?

Meh you don't need all that for a turbo. Riding on stock wheels, drive shaft and axles with the turbo. Been very solid for the 7000 miles I had it.

If a person has a 2nd car and their own garage or easy daily access to a garage, turboing an FRS should be a no brainer.

But lots of FRS owners are kids who don't have a 2nd car and their own garage, so its a no go for most of them.
