A turbo kit will run about $1500 (for 1 without an intercooler/wastegate) to around $3000 (for 1 with an intercooler/wastegate)

before you do the whole turbo thing you can always do a few other simple things like a larger throttle body and intake manifold...along with a high flow cat. will compliment the intake header and exhaust. its also something you will need to do anyway if you plan on forced induction.</P>

basically you are just removing more restrictions on air flow....the quicker you can get air into and out of the motor...the faster you are gonna go....now there is of course alot more too it then just that...you have to have the right amount of fuel (air/fuel ratios) this can be solved with a VAFC from apexi and a little bit of dyno time

yeah, a throttlebody is like the valve that allows air into your engine and the cat (catalytic converter) helps to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. It converts the hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. It also converts the nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen, it basically makes the exhaust safe(r) to breathe in. </P>


And yes, all those things u want to do are considered "all motor" or N/A (naturally aspirated)</P>
