Being in the military also I will tell you it is hard to turbo a car. I'm not sure what rank you are or what deployments you've been on but it takes a lot of cash and TIME. (especially if your doing the work yourself). You "can" cheap out and get it done at a decent price but it's not worth it for you and your car. An example, I am about done turboing a mustang. I figured to spend 5k on the entire build. Well a blown engine came and after forging everything it really hurts the wallet. I suggust you pick up a spare engine, take your time and build it up to hold the boost. Get all the turbo parts and supporting mods and drop it all in at once. That way you can enjoy your car while preparing to turbo and then if something unexpected did happen (where you run out of money or NEED your car) your not stuck without a car to drive. just my .02
