U could go NA but dont expect huge numbers. As for the turbo, the evo X one will fit but u will need a custome down pipe, intercooler piping etc

what's NA? and what do i need for a complete turbo set up? i know there's one in RRM but it's so expensive.

If you have to ask these questions, do not turbo your car

NA is naturally aspirated. ie no turbo or supercharger. Seriously if you ask these questions, dont do it. You will just end up breaking something.

Keep it NA, put on a nice exhaust, intake, tune, and other bits and pieces and u will enjoy the car. Otherwise buy a turbo kit if you really want to, but dont fit it urself.

yes go with the turbo kit if you really just want to have power without doing the research. or you could go with a starter turbo kit and add on parts from there. Have someone fit it if you don't know what you are doing. if you are willing to install a turbo kit youself it takes alot of time, effort, patience, and knowledge for a first time install. I would just stick to the Bolt-on parts until you're ready for boosting the car.

Ok, well give you a parts list, you install them, then blow your motor, and you will wonder why you shouldn't have turboed it with such little information. You need to know how a turbocharger works, what's needed to make it run properly, how to maintain it....its not like an exhaust where you install it with some wrenches and forget it. And now, I dont feel like helping you out

And ive been working on cars for literally years now, learning as I go, not just asking questions and doing right away. I took the time to learn everything. Google is your friend

I suggest you buy the RRM kit because everything is there, as well as instructions. That will save you years of learning!

I rate u search the forums. A LOT of questions have already been answered. After u know more, then u can ask. But let me warn u, a lot can still go wrong. I have kept mine naturally aspirated and im making quite good power, just waiting for new performance cams to be released by year end. The turbo route isnt the only route.
