So I picked up my new vehicle.

-Clean

-2.7L 4cyl (that's the biggest four i've ever heard of in a production car)
Base Number of Cylinders: 4 Base Engine Size: 2.7 liters Base Engine Type: Inline 4 Horsepower: 150 hp Max Horsepower: 4800 rpm Torque: 177 ft-lbs. Max Torque: 4000 rpm Drive Type: 4WD
-4wd/2wd
-manual locks, windows, and mirrors (meh)
-Sony CD player head unit (I don't like Sony, but it's gotta be better than stock)

So what's the over/under on me boosting this thing?

Can Boost be applied? lolz. I dig it, looks very well maintained.

Well, I found a $3K supercharger kit. Not worth it though.
I could probably turbo it for half that.
FMU, turbo mani, piping (no FMIC), oil lines, Gt25 or so. Win.

Ha ha..good for you man...100x better than that horror story van you were looking at awhile back with Denis lol. Looks nice, it's red to, my favourite colour. Very useful I'm sure and I'll bet your gonna have a blast with it.

LOL, well
a) I'm up to my ears in work, so I don't have time to play with it yet.
and
b) I need to save all funds for house nonsense (in the process of buying and selling)

I guess those are both valid excuses. if my turbo has to be uninstalled at any point in the next two weeks I'm going to have it towed to a junkyard and made into scrap metal --I can relate to being busy with work
