I've seen this a hundred times if once. When people are a little shy of the mark, they don't have the patience.

Next it will be a cold air intake. Then it will be (unnecessary) high-dollar spark plug wires because it sounds cool. Then it will be a bigger muffler (which will outflow the capabilities of the engine). Each item is cheap enough to grasp over the short term, but it will nickel and dime you out of getting to the big fish.
Rims are a dime-a-dozen, and you can always find someone unloading them cheap. It takes time and discipline to stockpile the parts needed for a turbo system, because you can't really use any of it until you have all of them at once, and that doesn't fit with the "instant gratification" personality.
When I say I had hope, means I just watched what could have been a good start on a turbo system go down the tubes.
In the end, it's your car, your money, and your way. Go for that Pep-Boys special if that's what's in the cards for you. I just hated to see all that potential go down the tubes.
