ignore that guy. search around here, there's plenty of info here and only you can decide how you want to spend your money. there are different definitions of fast.

"speed costs money, how fast do you want to spend?"

I'd go with basic bolt on's first, if at all, you'll notice a more responsive motor. A good start IMO.

#1 step would be a full tune up. The works, belts, plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor (or that MSD if you want to go hog-wild), timing, coolant, and I am forgetting some I know.

Replace the plugs with NGK's (platinum, or iridium if you want to spend more), and the wires with a good performance set. I think the NGK wires are good but I am sure someone here would fill you in on what is a good wire set.

I can't vote on this crap. Just save and continue to save. If you have to save up $500 for a turbo kit you shouldn't be messing around with one. If you have to ask you shouldn't be messing with it. Maintaining a turbo car is a big responsibility.

I didn't vote either. I still say spend that $500 in "turbo prep". If you are going to build a turbo, doing it right will cost ALOT more than $500.

tune up.. definetly.

cant stress that enough.

tune up and practice driving. Maybe get some good sticky meats.
