I am at a crossroads, i am looking to make more power in my relatively stock 1995 GT.

The car is a Street car 100% just looking for a little more pep and wanton reliability as well.

Current mods are:
Cobra upper and lower intake
Bbk unequal headers (obviously not needed if I go turbo)
Magnaflow stainless steel catted x pipe
Bbk cai
Bbk 76mm maf
Bbk 70mm throttle body.

Advise me.
Budget either way is $2000 give or take.

2K for an entire turbo build? Might need to increase the budget a little. Even the on3 kits are 1500 used and then you still need a fuel system, exhaust work, and then tuning.

Looks like the answer is not to turbo... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180113/5e06ac1236a32ba0ef8af633749d282c.jpg
