what can I do for $900
ok guys, say I had $900 to spend on my car.
i've got an '86 n/a GT, and I'm curious to know what I can do with $900 to get more performance out of it without having to sell it and buy a turbo model (looked for one, but can't find any for under$9,000CA).

I've already got a cheater pipe in to cut out 3 out of the 4 cats, and I'll be ordering a racing beat header within the next week along with making my own intake for it soon. I'm an aircraft structural repair technician so I deal with a lot of composite materials so I think I might build a cold airbox out of carbon fiber along with a small intake....

I personally would convert it to a turbo.....flame suit is on....It costed me a little over a grand to do it, and holy hell there is no way you can compare the before and after. But if you want to keep it NA I would have to say to get a catback system, and a wet nitrous kit.

It would cost more than a grand to add a turbo unless you had one lying around which most people don't.
Also how much boost were you able to go? Don't the N/A's have higher compression rotors? Or was it s4 and s5 have different compression. I always get those mixed up.
I know a guy that made his own manifold and is running about 5psi ,but he had just put it on and was testing it.

well I'm able to get my hands on a turbo no problem, if dude wants to share what parts he used and what kind of h/p gain he got.....etc
I'd totally go for it.
