I doubt you will turbocharge it.

Yes you can. Will you.. not likely. Just be happy it's running and take care and maintain what you have now.

Add lightness.

Better brake pads, nice coilovers, sticky tires.

Increase driver skill.





You can spend a fortune on an optimised intake and exhaust manifold-back setup if you want but just enjoy the car. Or add nitrous and tune for it.

Do exhaust and suspension and enjoy it.

There are options to turbo charge (or swap a T2 engine in) in the future, don't get too addicted to bridgeporting, it's sorta a big deal for most.

Good luck son.
