Supercharge/Nos/Bolt-ons

Before this goes much farther.
-When you said, not to much for force induction please define that budget for us.

After that you can determine if you can even enter the boost world.
Also consider, some upgrade you do while NA can carry over into the boost world while others do not. So if you ever want a TT/SC look forward at what you should buy or maybe skip buying as you will just be replacing it and eating the cost.

Really it all depends on what you want/need out of the car and what you can afford. Do you need 500+whp to get to work and back? Do you plan on doing drag racing, autox, or track days often enough to justify the cost? Will you be doing all the installations yourself or would you take it to a shop, this will have a big impact on costs.

I plan do take installs to a shop. I can do the basics, exhaust, intake plenum, and hfc's. I would want to take FI to a shop. I am looking for a few track days out of the year and the rest DDing the car.

My budget is around 6k to 8k and if need be 10k. I would prefer to stay between 6 to 8.

Then you flat out cannot afford boost. Whatever kit you buy, assume half again the cost of the kit in supporting mods.

6 to 8k is the starting price, you can get a BP turbo kit and a few extras and probably get away with 8k but to set the car up right for a few track events and safety you will need to be in the 9-11k range.

By the time you pay shipping and PayPal fees the BP kit is basically 8k.

It also boiled down to money as well. To me,if I'm going to do boost,I'm going to do it right. All the proper supporting mods plus having somebody install it for me along with aftermarket clutch and a better dif was and still is too much for me at this time. That would break my savings account and I'm not too keen on putting a lot of things on credit!
Boost is in the future for me,but until then,NA is where it's at for me.

I'm using tapatalk, it doesn't show signatures. I'll look into a Bp kit. I really appreciate everyone's help.
