The turbo kit from hiboost suposedly boosts the 3 to about 280 hp! I can't afford it yet ($4200), but as soon as I can I'm getting it.

Not sure what the point of soaking all that money into a car is. The stock engine moves it plenty fast.

I'd like more torque. The top end is okay, but the low end grunt is lacking

Be careful with turbo's! Any time you turbo an engine not made for it is always bad news. Even with the new high compression pistons and rods. Be mindful. You would be cutting the life expectancy of your motor down by almost half.

the more power, the better..... if ya got the money. that is the catch. But the engine will not live it's full life expectancy if you modify anything about the vehicle (performance-wise). Don't say we didn't tell ya so bro.....
