Supercharge build is the best bang for your buck and build from there.

Welcome to the forum a lot of good people and a lot of good info on here. Post up some pics of your wheels.

I would do what no_ss said and get a supercharged kit its a lot easier to come by and because of that its cheaper than going turbo.

As of now, when I say cheap, I mean two digit haha. I do plan to turbo at some point in the future. First I'd like to do exhaust, coil overs, and wheels. I'm on a strict budget as of now, so lots of dreaming is being done 👌

Ahhh okay. Well I'll tell ya don't go with eBay exhaust it will rot out on you but really all the things you listed can't be bought for double digits. You could use http://zzperformance.com/ecotec/supe...ger-kit-1.html to reference a supercharger build or you could use http://zzperformance.com/ecotec/turb...turbo-kit.html to reference a turbo build. If you try to piece either one together you can do it cheaper by buying things on here. But if you want my input, a supercharged build will be much easier to find parts and the parts will be priced very cheap on here when someone lists them for sale.

Other than that, you decide what you wanna do but I don't believe you'll find exhaust, coilovers or wheels for 50-99$ unless the wheels are used and that's a little sketchy imo. You CAN buy parts for a supercharged build for double digits though and accumulate parts until it's all ready to go on.

Right now, I'm looking at a throttle body swap, as well as a different intake tube. Anything bigger is going to wait until I'm out of school. But thanks for the input!
