if you go turbo it's fairly costly.....make sure you know what your going to have into that....but you'll eventually need suspension and whatever to make your car worth driving

turbo will make it more fun for you. (just remember that a turbo car takes alot more to maintain and keep running well)
bodk kit will make it more fun for everyone else.

whats the point of modding a car if it isn't for you?

Go with your gut feeling and from what I read the turbo is your hearts desire.

BOOST IT! YEAH!

generally daily driving has you accellerating more than conering hard. and having a turbo and using it to accellerate hard some times is less risky than turning like a maniac on public roads.

Boost it, i would much rather boost than buy Megan Coilovers for $1000. If your gonna spend a grand on coilovers buy Teins or B+G at least.

Turbo involves a lot of maintance

Make sure oil is changed every 3k and thats about it....
p.s. It's not a joke.
