I think my main question boils down to is it worth waiting and saving to get a turbo kit all at once and build a motor later, or for my power and goals am I better off doing all the bolt ons slowly over time, getting a supercharger, and eventually build a motor as the miles rack up. The amount of miles I drive in a year leads me to believe I will be building a motor for this car just form sheer usage. It is my dd and I need reliability almost more then anything. These are the kinds of answered I couldn't figure out from all of my reading.
If you do installs correctly, get a good tune, and boost moderately, and keep good maintenance, I don't see why you'd even need to build a new motor.
