Lets see here 1st gen Eclipse talon or laser 4G63 + AWD at about 3,000 dollars
MR2 around 4500 (though hard to find)
Supra ~ 4000
Dodge Stealth TT ~ 6500
I would go with the DSM myself, the 4g63 is a great engine, bulletproof, and can hold an insane amount of boost. and Shakran, i'd pit ANY dsm with the same amount of money put into it as your friends car, and laugh as he gets smoked by a bus length +.
Bad30th is right on, they are high revving NA engines(honda), plunking down a turbo probably isn't a good idea, especially if its your first time doing it. Just do it right, and get a car w/ a turbo stock.
