Seriously, do you think it's worth the 5-10hp gain from an intake or exhaust etc...that costs about 300-500$++? I'd say do other things on the car before deciding on adding some performance parts for it such as dropping it etc etc...Rather save up and turbo that baby with an engine built for it! Than you'll be seeing huge power gains. right...?

you would get more than 5-10 Hp out of an exhaust and intake.. a full exhaust with header and a decent intake would probably get you closer to 30 HP.. well worth it i thing..
aswell, droping a turbo into an NA motor without any mods can be harmfull.. you would probably blow your motor shortly after.. need lower the compresion first off.. and Im sure the pistons and rods wouldnt take much more than like 200-250 HP ish.. I dont really know alot about these motor yet though... I watched a local guy blow 2 civic motors because he bolted on a large greddy turbo on to a fully stock system...
