2 grand? definitely go turbo. You can get a basic setup for about that much. get it tuned, save more, then go bigger.
after a couple rounds of that.. you'll be racing vettes.

Boost bout time someone does it to an Alero with an Eco, I would do it to mine but I don't really know how I would run my charge pipes and I would want forged internals cause I don't think I would be satisfied with just 8 psi of boost.

my cousins old civic was running at 21 psi when he took me for a ride and it was pretty much an instant addiction to boost.
