well my car only has 70k on it, thats alot but not too much, i just want more power out of my car, the mods i put in it already have made a diff. but nothing mind blowing like a turbo might do, now all i have to do is save my money like crazy if i want to buy a turbo.

build your own turbo kit. i should work out cheaper if you are willing to spend the time to find the parts. just make sure you get all you need.

the bolt on's you added to your car isnt the same as if you were boosted... i decided to go turbo and i sold all my bolt ons to help pay off for my turbo kit... and i tell you this... **** the n/a and go turbo... ppl would agree with me.. you should sell your car.. u might get some $$ off of it since its 70k only and get another ride... itll beat your automatic gs. dont do it cheap. go big or go home

The tranny will most likely go out on you. If it doesn't, it is still an automatic.
