Is turboing my 06 corolla worth it??

I was just wondering if anyone who has already turbo'd theirs has any feedback? I have looked up a bunch of different kits and the are all about $3000, does any one have any recommendations or things that I should specifically look out for?

what kits did you look at? I know on the other forum there are people who have given good reviews about the turbo-kits.com kits for our cars.

it'll take a lot more than just a turbo kit to get the kind of power you're looking for out of a corolla

If that's the case, you should select another paltform to mod... Heck, that would be a bit of work to get out of the mod-friendly WRX...
