Get supporting mods before going FI, you'll thank me later when you don't have popped pistons/etc.

Nitrous.. If you have problems with the car and it is still under warrenty take off the Nitrous kit and take it in to the dealer.. Headers, full exhaust, stall converter, And a 100 shot should run in the 13's at least..

There are people on this board that have reliably run turbos on otherwise stock setups.

Build up some NA hp and do some suspension mods to get it to hook. Then put on your power adder.

Do they have header/exhaust, etc? Then they have supporting mods. You do NOT throw a turbo onto a completely stock car and expect it to last. How about fueling issues? You expect a turbo to run on stock injectors? Not well, and not long. Most folks need tuning to get their setups to run well.
Like I said, supporting mods. Please show me a stock vehicle (barring necessary mods such as the turbo manifolds) that puts out good power reliably with a turbo setup. I'm curious. If this car is a daily driver and isn't a complete maintenance nightmare, then it's a good thing and I'll defer to the vehicle. However, most people will be using these vehicles as a daily driver and reliability is absolutely necessary.
Don't lead this member down a path she'll regret.

Part of any turbo setup is providing proper fuel delivery.
So you can throw a turbo on an otherwise stock setup because the components you mention are part of any good turbo setup. So when you put the turbo on you would be doing those things.
I car with an properly setup aftermarket turbo can be a reliable daily driver.

Exactly what was said is what they'd try to follow. I'm just trying to dispel any misconceptions some people may have about adding FI to any vehicle's setup.
I admit there are people on this board who know infinately more than I do about FI setup, especially in a custom application. I do know a bit more than the average Joe, however and am trying to pass that information along when I can. That's all.
I agree with James, what does the OP want to get out of her vehicle?
