Add a turbo kit I'm not the expert, but if you don't want to do an ENTIRE drivetrain swap, a turbo setup can be cost-effective.

No turbo kits, bud. You are gonna have to fabricate your own, then worry about your trans crapping out on you.

How about let'* give him some PRACTICAL advice?

Start in the Performance section of Techinfo. And let us know what your REALISTIC budget is.

Good point! There is no "kit" available. Merlin had a custom setup done though. Obviously it'* not cheap
