Well, given the fact that you love your car and the poor used car market now (very limited trade in value) I would say go for the turbo. The basic kit from Terry H I think makes around 220HP, lots of tourque and may not stress the motor as bad as higher boost setups. FWD is not optimal for drag racing and you will not have a muscle car, so this is not the way to go if you are thinking only 1/4 mile at a time. But for another 3K or so you will have a car that will outrun 99% of stock/modded 4-door sedans under 30K, good handling, fun. Plus, the guy in the other lane will NEVER know what hit him, especially if you keep the stock look.
