Default Honda Element Turbo

Hey Guys!! New to the forums, Dilema.....Get a cheap beater and build up to tuner, or pimp the shit out of my E. It is the 2.4 motor and has absolutly no balls. I know, I know I shouldnt have bought a box then, but seriously, I need to achieve 200 hp in this with out comprimising daily driving, ei... losing the seats and spare tire and what not. I love Hondas for thier reliablilty and I wanted an SUV, so the E. was the choice, that and my wife had to have the suicide doors. So With that in mind and a budjet of about 3000$ I need good advice, I had a turbo set up quoted for 6500$ but thats way too high. No offense in advance but please no amatuer advice, this is my 24000$ grocery getter, and it has to be functional. I already have a silly K&N drop in filter, Its running 20's which I Know takes a little away, but with 200 hp as th goal I am hoping the weight of the wheel has less effect.
