So heres the situation. Im 18 years old, and my parents came up on a 1995 toyota celica gt. Its got 176k on the body and only 60k on a swapped 5sfe. Ive been reading alot about this car to try and learn the basics and what not, but i cant seem to get this down. I would LOVE to turbo my car considering the engine doesnt have many miles on it, but im not sure how to considering i have the tighest budget that can be. Can anyone help me here, im just a young one wanting to have a fast car like the big boys ha

if your going to turbo make sure you do your homework. look into all the things you will need to reach your power goal (which you shoudl try and establish b4 going any further i would think) .. and like some of the guys have already said you dont want to go the cheap way out, because from what ive read from some of the guys on the site, once you turbo your car your engine almost becomes more vunlnrable for injury is one way to put it. ppl run into problems that you have to maintain alot and you dont want cheap parts that are going to bust on your 3rd run on the streets and look stupid. save up and do your hw and rread he thru the threads.. good luck man and welcome to the AMAZING world of celicass =]
