So heres the situation. Im 18 years old, and my parents came up on a 1995 toyota celica gt. Its got 176k on the body and only 60k on a swapped 5sfe. Ive been reading alot about this car to try and learn the basics and what not, but i cant seem to get this down. I would LOVE to turbo my car considering the engine doesnt have many miles on it, but im not sure how to considering i have the tighest budget that can be. Can anyone help me here, im just a young one wanting to have a fast car like the big boys ha

Save your pennies, do your homework, and re-evaluate your goals. are you after a fast car? do you want to turbo this car just so you can say you turbo'ed it? What are your HP goals? can you afford to be without this car for a few days when something breaks?

These are all valid questions you need to straighten out before you accidently get in over your head.

With that said, welcome, good luck, and enjoy the ride.
