Hey everyone, I have a 1998 Sunfire GT, nothing special, stock and want to keep it looking that way. I want to throw a small turbo on it, dialed down boost, just want that extra kick. Stock horsepower is 150 I believe, would like near 200. To be completely honest, I especially love the sound of a turbo, and the feeling when that turbo kicks in. I've done little research, and some friends and coworkers (I am an apprentice mechanic at Kia) have given me suggestions. Probably going to go with a T25, I want to mimick the Mazdaspeed 3 intercooler setup since it'll be super easy and a clean looking setup since my throttlebody is at center front of the engine and its straight up. Lots of room for the turbo behind the engine where the manifold is. Hell, I don't even want to change my stock exhaust

I want a sleeper setup and like i said, nothing extreme. My hang ups are tuning pretty much, and I'm assuming those small details that I never thought of. Hope to learn a bit on here.
