    1st I'd get a new timing belt since you don't know when it was done last. 2nd no one makes a turbo kit for your car, the turbo setup will have to be custom. 3rd do a 5 speed swap.

    Every turbo kit I've ever done was buying part by part. I find that you save a heck of a lot more money that way. Unless you need someone else to install and do all the custom work for you. I'm in the process of getting everything together to do a turbo set up on my v6 eclipse. Eventually an LSD and 3.8 swap. You might want to consider a manual transmission swap first?

    My advice for the OP is good luck. It's one hell of a process if you want to do it right.
