    As much as I love my GTP... I would like to further research my options for owning a DD Turbo car.

    Would I be better $$$ wise adding a turbo to a N/A car?

    TIA.

    IMO: yes, it would add a lot of power. but 15k? thats a lot of money......you could piece together a kit for around 2k, or a full kit for 4-5k.

    Well if your interested in staying with a GM car. The new Cobalts will be turbo'd good dd there!

    And I also just noted that you said under 15k. SRT-4, VW has a couple to choose from. There havent been many american cars that were turbo'd by the big 3.
