    Gotta pay to play ya know. I suggest you do more research.. Modding isn't cheap especially if your unfamiliar unable to do the work yourself. Shops will kill you with labor cost. A turbo isn't just something you bolt on, you have to be able to troubleshoot and figure things out because things will go wrong! I suggest keeping it simple and just keeping the car on the road and keeping up with maintenance and maybe just touching what your comfortable with.

    True, true... I'm getting used to the handling and the front springs seem to be settling a little, hopefully when they're 100% settled the body roll is a little less apparent but I'm really happy with where the car is now, it's gonna need an upgraded set of front brakes with the extra weight shifted to the front but before all of that I wanted to scope out what I can do power-wise... problem here is yes I can replace a couple of body panels and yes I can do brakes and I can even do a decent amount of suspension bits but when I pop the hood I've got no idea what to do... I've not been taught to do well... any work which is the main money problem. So I've got no idea what I wanna do with the car as of now, really would've loved to get some summer tires on it, a little more power and make f-bodies and mustangs look silly in a road course but that seems unlikely at this point.

    Good advice. Throw an intake on her for some of that sweet blower whine and stay where you are til you are ready to go in deep.

    Yes I made myself an intake for the whine, it sounds really aggressive for a gen 3 ... I love the sound but it gets old.
