Hey guys and gals...i know this is a stupid question...but do all o' you know anyway of getting a good, cheap turbo for my car? - - - or anyway to give me a little more umph? - - - i'm not really interested going really,really fast...but more the torque, and acceleration i'm that kinda guy:)....the current plans i have are to install a greddy exusht and injen intake - - - but that total w/install will come to a hair under 1k - - - i have to think there is someway of getting more umph for around, or less than that price?...anyway look forward to hearing back! out-

no way is that actualyl going to help horsepower theres hardly any air flow to it and its an electric fan so its also going to put a draw on your alt. if it added even 10hp to the wheels that would be one thing but it does absolutely NOTHING. i think this has been covered before and one of those tech tv shows dynoed cars with electrc blowers and that tornado fuel saver thing.

hahaha, i figured it was a fluke....anyway, do you (or anyone eles) have anyway suggestions on what i could do for more umph? I was told by a local customs shop that the greddy exhaust and injen air intake would boost me about 20 hp...does that sound right?...anyway, i'm open to ideas...just let me know if there's anything out there that would give me more umph...for under 1k...
