i want to know whats the most popular way to go. id also like to know what the most cost effective because i dont have a ton of money outright but i look for it to be a work in progress. im not talking suspension exhaust and stuff... i just need suggestions on turbo or all motors and what the first steps would be either way!!!

 

In that case turbo.

 

if you wanted to go heavy with your upgrades (whether it's N/A or Turbo) you should start building your engine for power. with all engine (N/A) you will start adding internal upgrades. with a turbo you can get a kit and put it on a stock setup and run low boost until you get enough money to build your engine to handle more horsepower. either way will be costly. so save ur pennies and nickels.

 

Turbo is by far the cheaper way to go if you want some decent power out of it.

 

^ yuup NA costs more and u dont get the performance u would from boosting

 

turbo more cost effective and u get a lot of bang for yoru buck

 

so besides a turbo kit what would i have to get to prep the car for forced induction???

 

Depends on your power goals. If you want a 300+ hp beast, you will need to think about some internal work. Otherwise, just focus on the fueling and tuning portion to make sure that you can make the most out of your stock bottom end in the safest way possible.

 

^^ exactly, the majority of turbo "kits" are made for stock engines and they have a default stock boost that they are set at that is safe for that engine, the rest is just making sure that your car is tuned properly, and that you have the correct amount of fuel going in to make up for the excessive amount of air
*FPR - good
injectors - better
pump+rail+injectors - best*

 

What do you need a fuel rail for when the stock one supports up to 650 hp?
