Go grab your dad's leaf blower, get a few couplings at home depot, and strap that sucker up to your intake manifold... just remember to pop your hood and crank it before you start the car... that oughta give you a cheap 3-4 psi... then get a type r sticker and you're ready for the track...

I have cold air intake, exhuast and I have a Zex/nos kit already but it's not hooked up. I read another thread about building a Turbo kit, right now I dont have much money but I'm trying to buy pieces here and there so I can have it all put in my car by the middle of this summer. I'm curious why the guy disabled the Zex/nos, I guess I could hook it up again but I have to change the position it's at on the intake. I was told u want it more towards the throttle body, it's like halfway down the intake and it's all ****ed up looking. I will take a picture and post it.

g10 526 Enough to have a fast car but not enough to kill me....lol. I only make 8.50 an hour so my funds are kinda limited lol. I'm curious is it safe to have a turbo/nos setup or will that totallly screw up my car?

First of all, figure out your goals and what you want to do before you start going crazy and buying stuff you won't need in the long run. Is this a daily driver or a track only car? etc. If you buy a header now and then decided to go turbo, you just wasted yourself some good money.
You should really research what a header, or an exhaust really does before you go and buy yourself one.
The most important thing about "building" a car is tuneing, and keeping good maintenance.
Engine preformance isn't everything, think about your suspension which also makes your car go faster.

if i were you i would just save up and buy a turbo kit when you can. a good kit + good tuning will put you over 200whp easy for about $3-$4 grand. then if you want to be even faster you can build your engine up some to run more psi.
