dont even bother putting the cam in if you are turbo / charging it. If you dont have at least 2.5k dont bother from my experience of doing it cheap and myself parts will cost just under 1k for decent 2nd hand stuff new will cost you alot more.
Then you will have to think about osmehting to control fuelling intercooler etc Still even if you did it DIY and made it look half decent it would still cost you around 1.5k

Not worth the ££££ might aswell get a vts lumo and if your still not happy with that then you can always cam that and so on, may as well start with 120bhp than 90bhp

if youre gonna spend a lot i'd say its best to start with a vts, im only spending a couple of hundred modding mine and cant decide if its worth it on a vtr rather than vts!

You want to read up about turbos and superchargers before deciding which to go for. I personally prefer turbos to superchargers.
You will need a deep pocket to get it done propperly and even deeper if you cant do it yourself.
Can source cheeper 2nd hand decent parts which will reduce costs abit, have a look about and get the best for your money.
Have a search around on here theres loads of threads about this kinda stuff.
