Believe it or not there are things other than turbos that can improve power.
Your homework is to research things like cams, compresion, exhaust, porting and all of that old school stuff. Feel free to call on performance shops to ask about pricing.

i rekon the best part about a turbo is the added power but each to their own i suppose, if u just want it for the noise dont bother, its a very expensive way to get the turbo sound.

i rekon an n/a withbig cams and ITB sounds amazing but is abit more technical and expensive than a bolt on turbo setup.

no we are saying that you should grow up and learn that its not worth the money if you only want it for the sound. also you should learn some grammar while you ar it
