STS kits make good power. if you get it, don't run more than 7lb I have seen them pick up about 120rwhp at 6lb, with a good tune. Good luck

I am not looking for gigantic gains that force me to alter my engine, I am just looking to have a car that I am able to drive daily but still have some mad power.

Well then you shouldn't get the turbo...
Any mods to your car are gonna require you to do tranny work after any amount of time with that kit. You gotta pay to play.
