with the turbos and a small engine compartment you have to seriously consider heat dissapation. Major downside of turbo operation.

There are a lot of considerations to take into account here. Find what you like the best or are most experienced with and then see what you can afford out there.

Good Luck!

good intercooler, scoops, vents on the fenders and he should be fine, he could find some way to dissipate heat better

vents and scoops kick ass if they're there to keep the turbo and intercooler temps down!!! there's a lot of stuff available to keep underhood temp down. make heat shields, buy wraps and insulation; the heat issue isn't that big of a deal, most important is the plumbing. If you have no fabrication skill, don't want to learn or don't have enough money to pay someone that can, you've just had one decision made for you.
an s/c would still be fun if you're not up to doing a turbo.

i was gonna say swap s/c's for a kenne bell. but looking at his site right now he doesn't have one for it. but he could here in a few months or a year or so. heres his sight. he's got other stuff too that you may be able to benefit from, CAI, etc. heres his site.
