Default Noob Questions

Ok not sure if this was right place to post or not but here goes. I am first gonna start off by saying I am relatively new to this site and to the whole forum posting thing. I have had my tc for about a year and a half now. For now it is just my daily driver that I go to shows with from time to time, but eventually I may take it to a local track with some friends and run her from time to time. I have done minimal work to it so far. Better brakes and rotors have the trd lowering kit, upgraded the exhaust s pipe back, and have intake and ingalls engine torque dampner, but that is all in terms of performance. I want to get a little more pep out of my tc so I was thinking of buying a turbo kit. Since this is my daily driver I dont need it to be like fast and the furious or anything but I wanna be able to get on it when I want to. I am not extremely wealthy so I do mods as I can. I am expecting to get some money in october which is when if I do this it would go down. When in terms of installing a turbo I know minimal things but I believe just buying a turbo kit isnt the only thing you need. What else would I need? Or could I buy the kit first install it and then add other parts as I get the money? I also would be installing as much of the parts as I could myself in my grandfathers garage, he is a trained mechanic. Also I dont really understand this part do some or all turbo kits require specialized tuning, and where do you go for that? I dont mean to offend anyone by this, and just to reassure you I am not some young kid who is an inexperienced driver looking to go as fast as I can. As I said b4 I am just trying to get a little more pep out of the old girl.

sorry dude, but ah... use the search button, your questions indicate that you haven't even as much as browsed through these forums.

Um yes I have. I am new to the forum here and am unaware what to search instead of being a jerk you could help and tell me what to search. I am here to learn. I am sorry I wasnt born knowing how to do everything unlike you sir! If anyone could at least point me in the right direction that would be appretiated.
