You can definitely free up a few HP while working your way towards building your car for a turbo, which is nice! Upgrade a few parts here and there will help out.

Also if you wait before blowing out your tranny to get a M/T then you can always sell it, that'll help with the cost of the new one! Although you might be out of a tranny for a while if you NEED the money from selling it for a new one, ha.

Sickdime has already listed quite a few good mods I can apply to my car, but what can you suggest that most wouldn't think of?

The more I think about it, the more I've come to terms with the fact that a turbo in my vehicle isn't going to happen. Supercharging sounds like a possiblity if they exist for my 4 banger. Other than that I can just work on getting a higher compression in my engine, and apply some other simple mods. Which I could still take suggestions on what works best for others.
