with graduation on the way, and that means money.. im seriously considering to go boost. i found a kit for $2,100 which would fit my needs. im only going to run around 4 or 5psi since my cars my daily driver. but this all depends on how much i get for graduation.
so does anyone know of a really trustworthy turbo installer/tuner is? would tim be a good guy to take it to?

Yes Tim would be your best bet but for sure. Where did you find a kit? Cause since they don't make one for our car I am going to bet it will cost you the amount of the turbo to get it installed.
I just posted on xceed about the kit. I think it sucks to be honest. For over 3 grand you can get 56%? MAYBE Well, for a grand I can get 35, 50, or 75 percent from nitrous and only use it when I want to instead of my engine getting boost all the time and putting constant strain on everything from my pistons to my head gasket. Just not sure about it for our stock engines. I am curious to see what the xceed turbo freaks say.

but you also have to think highest shot of nitrous you can spray with stock engine is only a 50shot. so thats not that big of a gain. with around 4 or 5 psi, i'll be up to around 180~190. n from what i've researched so far, it wont do much to the engine since its barely even boosting
you can run a little higher than 5psi more like 7psi and get up in the 200's thats were i'll be satisfied....not really more like in the 250's maybe turbo and nos?
yea, i think max psi on stock engine is 7 or 8, and that puts you up around 220~240. but thats too much for me to risk, so im keepin it around 5. but if you get turbo+nitrous, you'll probably have to build up your internals.
damn those kits are kinda pricey for little gains. u be better off getting a nitrous or just save up and get the k20 swap. but nitrous is the best bang for the buck.
all turbos are pricey and doing the swap will be double the price than turbo....nitrous is one way to go but going turbo just seems more of a complete mod IMO
If you find a "kit" Just install it yourself. Also, Is this kit intercooled? 4-5 lbs of boost is real low. If you front mount it, and can keep up fuel/and ehxuast u should easily handle 11-15 psi daily driven.
Another note, try 2 stick with one type of Forced Induction. There is no need for no2 with a turbo. Think diffrent! How about, t3/t4 turbo set-up with larger injectors/fuel pump/headers/downpipe/cat-back with a sidemount/or front Mount Intercooler with say a Co2 Sprayer kit infront of the intercooler..

i dont know how well our engines can take boost and nitrous if you dont build it up some. running boost and nitrous sounds a little too risky for me
