I understand you stated you are a noob etc etc, and I am not trying to be a d!ck.

What about your clutch? Your stock clutch will slip/burn out if you're boosting. Do you have an exhaust manifold for the turbo? Downpipe? What about tuning stuff? There's a bunch of other stuff, too.
BTW, your bay seems like it'll look nice once completed.

Looks like a good start but you got some work to do. Welcome to the community. An upgraded clutch isin't a bad idea. Any turbocharging to a stock built car would bring more strain from the engine all the way to the wheels. How much boost are you thinking of applying? 5lbs? 20? Important thing to think about before spending lots of money.
Researching now will save you time and money down the road.

Good luck with your project!

If you have any questions post them on the board for help.

you better pull the engine and finish the bay when you paint it. it'd be way clean with good paint.
