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 you really want to turbo your 5s save 1500 that should be okay for a turbo set-up. Will it last? Depends on how much studying you have been doing. Like Art said you gotta pay to play. You can't base your turboing decision the way a turbo sounds, that's just silly. And you can't compare our celicas to your buddys evo. That's a newer car with better technology. If you want to learn the hard way, go ahead and turbo your car. If not get a job, save up and you can do what ever the hell you want with the money you've earned. Life is easy when you're in high school and living with mom and dad. If you REALLY want to stil boost it, sure we'll help you and can help you source parts for cheap. Let me tell you this much, the most enjoyable thing about the 6th gen is handling.having a fun handling car beats the crap out of a car that can't get traction for the life of it.
