turbo? smart of no
#2
the kit from turbo toyotas is pretty awesome looking. but you don't turbo your car without knowing what you doing, and you sound like you don't have a clue.
do some research in the forced inductino forum.

a turbo charger is smart, only and ONLY if you know what you are doing. There is alot more to turbo charging then just buying a kit and slapping it on. I learned this during my turbo charging expedition. After about 6 months of research and busting my ball$, trying to find the right turbo, intercooler, BOV, ECU, mechanic, etc...
IF you want to turbo charge save about $5,000, you will need them. You might be able to do it for cheaper, but you wont get peak performance without ECU and many days at the dyno.

Are you looking for a turbo, any F/I, or just more power. Nitrous will get you the same track gains and is by far the cheapest method, not sure how it is for daily driving though, and you'll need bottle refills.
If you want something truly bolt-on go with a Greddy or Blitz turbo. Both are fairly idiot-proof and no tuning is required on the 04-05. Unline the aforementioned turbo, you can pretty much buy the kit and slap it on, though gains will be more limited. They do both need a rewire of the piggyback unit for an 06 though. I can't speak for the PE charger, I'm nervous over the fact it runs on the factory ECU, seems like it would not be tuneable, though a piggyback could be added later. S/C will run $1500 used to $3000 new and point in between.
Good luck, search the forums, have a shop install if you aren't confident with a wrench, and if you tune find a decent shop, Greddy lists authorized shops on their website.
