Depending on the emissions you have to pass, a turbo is out of the question. Tailpipe, visual, etc Having to pass emissions usually really cuts back on the mods you can do to an engine. Head porting, mild cam, tune... that kind of stuff will pass a visual and if tuned right, keep you within emissions specs.

Thank you for taking the time and I will do just that. I as well will do research on brands, again thanks and much respect.
