you have the 2.0 4 banger or the 6 cylinder. the 2.0

If you have the FSDE 2.0 you can boost it pretty cheaply, the 6 cylinder is a bit harder to boost and a lot more expensive. there is also the factory FSZE which is the high performance 4 cylinder from japan, but a little harder to swap. the 200hp KLZE is the popular swap over our standard 164hp KLDE 6 cyl..

hopefully you have the 4 cylinder since it's low compression and boostable.

you can boost all day long on the v6... you just have to have the right tune on it. Even if you did pop the motor its a quick trip to the junk yard and a couple of hours to throw in.

You should be able to pick up a decent set of pipes on ebay... the knock offs are just about as good as the ones made by the other companies.

there you go, I did not see a turbokit for the V6, but typically 2 manafolds ect tend to add cost.

thats b/c the 3.0 v6 can in the 88-92 box models. and have hardly any hope for modds. the 93-97 models came with the 2.5l v6 and this is the one you are looking for. It can handle over 300hp to the wheels in stock form. The blocks and cranks have been tested to over 800+ to the wheels! just a lil KL info. for the day
