Default 2.0 Wagon sport, looking to turbo and up the BHP

Hey all just got rid of my Celica GT that was punching over 225bhp was a wee monster for racing and sleeper , but now have a sports wagon and well 125bhp is not cutting it for me I got this wagon cheap for 350! so its only needing minior repairs but upgrading the breaks and supsion from a WRX we have laying around, so was wondering if anyone could help or put me in the right way of turboing a sport or better to change engine ?

if this is wrong place i'm sorry new member

It's all different mate, the sport doesn't even have a rear anti-roll bar, and to get one on it you have to change everything and fit some mounts too.

Two different cars pal, I know this because a good mate bought a cheap one too and found out the hard way.

Sell it or just enjoy it for what it is.

Ditch is right; don't waste cash on the sport, just buy a proper one
