Red face Need Advice

I have an automatic 07 Cobalt LT sedan. I'd kill for a turbocharged sedan but I dont have the money for on (I'm still paying mine off) and theres only about 3 for sale that I've found, which is understandable since less than 500 were made. I'm a college student so I don't have A LOT of money to spend on mods, but I wanna know what will make my Cobalt "zippier" and capable of more. I'm getting a trifecta tune Saturday, a Weapon R Dragon S.R.I. soon and I'm looking into the throttle body and intake manifold off a 2.4SS and eventually headers, downpipe, and exhaust. better brakes (not sure which yet) nd slotted rotors for the front. Any advice on any of this? Any other mods I should consider? Any help is appreciated!!

How much would that be, I think I saw some on ZZP for about 2500, is it worth it even with my balt being an auto? I'm considering just trading for an SS, but the only 2 reasonable ones I found were both coupes. And it'd be at least 2k plus my car, is that worth it? (my car is fully loaded and I kinda enjoy the luxury of heated seats since i live in NEPA)

You could piece together your own kit for $1,500 or less.

Fairly safe, but if you don't know how to do you might want to research and find a member to help.

I have a buddy of mine and his dad who could help me with the labor, but as for which parts to use I'd rather ask someone on here who would know first hand. Do you which website I should check out?

ZZPerformance.com is where a lot of my stuff is from. If you aren't making payments at the moment, build what you have. If you are gonna have payments either way, it might be a better idea to find an SS.

Well I'm most likely gonna be dont with payments by spring, trading up would just set me back more. I looked, and dealers want a lot plus my car which isn't worth it at all. Only thing I found was an 05 Supercharged SS with 84k in Virginia, and theyd want my car plus 2k...
