A car can be slow as can be and still be fun with a 5-speed. Go fun before go fast.

The way you ask makes it seem like you have the option to actually do one or the other right now. If you are talking turbo by way of a engine swap then do them both at the same time. It will only add about an hour to a swap and maybe another 200 bucks over what you would already have to buy with a swap.

If its boosting the current motor, then 5 speed first.
