Top swap wouldn't be that cheap from what I gather either, although a good idea . 
I don't want to do it with a bottle though.Or you could skip the blower and piece together a turbo kit. When I was playing with the idea of going turbo in the Regal I could have had a custom kit with turbo headers, a 62-1 and all the supporting mods to make 650whp (more like 500 because 650 would shred the trans in about a 1/2 pull) for about $3500 bucks.
You could go cheap and stick with stock manifolds and a smaller turbo and piece together a kit for like 2 grand.

^^ MONICA NOOOOO made me LOL. That's one slow civic lol.
In other news, i lost to a suzuki yesterday, and it wasn't a bike. It was a Forenza (i think thats how it's spelled).
We were at a stoplight, i was in the 4cyl auto S10. I didn't instigate anything, this guy randomly dropped the clutch. I went WOT but couldn't reel him in. He had me by 1/2 car at the end of 1st and a full car at the end of 2nd gear. I lifted and let him go.
The best part was the driver of the suzuki, who was rocking back and forth like it would make the car go faster. It was like i was racing Fred Flintstone, and i lost.

Haha yea I know what you mean. My dad's got a 99 5 speed 4 banger ranger and it goes good through 1st and 2nd and then after that you could sing the national anthem between the time it takes the speedo to get to each mph mark.

It snowed here last night, so me and a few friends went out from like 1-3am playing around in the snow doing dumb ****. I'll upload the 1 race we got: 05 silverado 5.3 vs TB i6. Pretty good actually 
On a sad note, I saw 2 camaros wrecked today. Damn snow.

First one. My 2009 Honda Fit Sport auto vs my brother's 2003 Saturn Ion 3 manual from about 15mph:

Second one. We're in my brother's Saturn (same one) against my friend's Honda Civic 5-speed with a catback. No passenger for him, both in second gear:

As far as the 15-75 goes, even the gradual incline from the vid absolutely destroys any semblance of acceleration in this car.
We did take the Saturn to the track once for the hell of it and I want to say he went 16.3 or so with a mid-80's trap.
