you're going to get all sorts of answers you're not going to like...so I'm going to give them all to you right now...
1. You shoulda bought a faster car to begin with.
2. No such thing as cheap power
3. save your money and pay yuour car off faster...then buy a toy car
4. FI is really the only way to go on these right now and it's NOT cheap.

best thing you could do for yourself is to pay your car off as FAST AS POSSIBLE....every spare penny you get put it towards your car note. Do this and you'll build credit so fast it'll make your head spin. Also, you pay your car off faster and basically save those payments. save that compounded interest( unless your interest is simple)...also, paying it off earlier means your car has more value when it's paid off...if you pay it off in 4 years instead of 5 you owe $0 on a car thats worth more.

If you don't have a car payment to make then your next bet is to save every penny you make and wait until a lot more aftermarket selection is available. Right now there is only one turbo kit, no supercharger, nothing but intake header and catback.
Save up as much as you can and once new parts come out and people have started reviewing them THEN you can drop a wad of cahs and buy something nice upfront.
p.s. not stereotyping you but NO'ONE has ever done this the correct way...

Don't bother on intake,headers, and exhaust if you plan on going turbo.....you'll just waste money because it will all need to be changed out for a turbo application

SEE!!! thats how you do it!
p.s. mine isn't paid off but i've got about $10K sunk in related car crap...most of it is the supercharger though. also the new one should be here within a few weeks or so...going to make some noise and turn some heads I'd bet.
