Getting a teg into that range is pretty bad idea unless you're really good with a wrench and have a good amount of money to put into it.

BUT it's easily attainable with a basic turbo kit and a few add-ons, just not something I'd suggest for a noob.

Ditch the idea of the VR4, it's an electronic mess.

:edit:

having an LS doesn't put you at an advantage though... I say sell and buy another car to start modding now that I realized this.
