Even though I and others really hate Cavalier I'll give you one piece of advice people who hate Cavaliers keep secret go to a junkyard and get a 3.8 supercharged engine (avaliable in abundance) with install and thin rad. total cost should be around $1500 US. If you need someone to do the work bump the price up to $2000-$2500. As opposed to stcking with your 4 cylinder you would start with 240HP and more torque than you could get from 14lbs of boost with a turbo. If you put on just the turbo by the time you reach that kind of HP it will cost between $5500-$6500...shop smart...shop s-mart

and this 3.8 is a V6??
and if I go the the junk yard in my home town they don't let you do anything, you tell them what you want they pull it and they put it in....which I hate, they can pull it but I want my mechanic to do the work
EDIT:
and thanks for the advice
