the best place to start is intake and exhaust. make sure you buy a good full cat-back exhaust. And welcome to the forums.

for a 4cl i would go turbo. most parts you could get from a junk yard. ythen get it tuned. the most money would be spent on a piggy back like apexi safc II with is around 400. you would be pushing some were around 250 300hp i would hope.

I really wish people would just do a search, or just look down the page. This question is asked about once a week and its never a different answer. Please try and look for the answer before you ask it. Thanks

your evo turbo would be nice but i would get a turbo off a gst/gsx that way you could use the manifold off of one. just in case you can't weld or dont have one. my bet is it would be cheaper to.

actually the EVO turbo bolt up to the 3g GS all you need it a couple spacers for the manifold to the head. Emonz would know...he did it

well good luck because those turbos dont fit... The Evo turbo does. Been there done that. on to of that the Evo turbo can make over 350WHP the GSt GSX turbo will make 270HP if it is very very lucky.

Its obvious your in no possition yet to think about turboing your car. You need some research into what you have first and what you can do and so on.
