With your routh estimate + purchase price of the car is a nice down payment on a house!!! That's insane. I felt bad about how much I have spent lol. Once you turbo your car, maybe another couple thousand, you'll be well over 10k in mods alone. Thats crazyness.
Yes I know..... But every part on my car ishigh quality. I didn't go cheap on anything. I hope when I start putting it in some car shows I can make a little of that money back....

Hey, j_man: Do you have a nitrous system to go with that purge kit? Also, what ignition do you have?

No the purgesystem sprays out CO2.... A lot cheaper than NOS. But when I get my turbo, i'm gonna have it spraying into the intercooler for a little extra boost of power. As for the ignition, im not quite sure at the moment.. Im pretty sure its this one...

My bad ..... I forgot that the '99 has a distributor ...... I was wondering if you trashed the Coil-on-Plug setup, but you never had that. When I looked for an ignition, I found that the Stacker setups don't work with my coils and that I'd have to rip everything out and add a distributor and standard type setup.

Are you sure that the CO2 will help? CO2 won't add pressure since it will be controlled by the BOV, it's non-flamable so it will lean out your AF ratio, and I don't think that the cooling effect will offset the chemical effect. You'd be better off using a nitrous setup with n-tercooler injection. I've often wondered about the cryofreezer intercooler for turbo seetups though. You could hook that up after the intercooler and carry CO2 and N2O. It would look like a dual can setup in your trunk for shows. Also, you could pipe the CO2 so that after it cools the cryofreezer it sprays out the tailpipe to spool the turbos quicker and make a jet engine sound! ...... or put the CO2 through the cheeta jets and spray it from your fenders into the guy next to you's (sounds southern!) intake.

I think that the AEM water/alcohol spray kit is more like what you want. The water will cause evaporative cooling and will make the charge denser. The kit can take half alcohol which I think you should do since alcohol will lessen the leaning effect of the water. Also, this will result in a higher octane mixture in the cylinder to help protect you from knocking.
