    if by peformance you mean power... pulleys, intake, header, exhaust...

    pulley - agency power
    intake - aem, injen, weapon r
    header - weapon r, dc
    exhaust - hks, greddy, injen, magnaflow

    all of which you can install yourself with simple tools

    for the headers go with weapon r because they are a 4-2-1 design and dc says the same thing but they are not they are a 4-1 and intakes you can also get one from K&N but other than that TBITB got majority of them

    if it were me, (and im trying to do something similar to you) i'd just save the thousands of dollars you're gonna need to do all that since you'll have to replace the headers, intake, and maybe the exhaust anyway. i dont wanna spend 6 or 700 dollars (i/h/e brand new for the sake of argument) knowing that im gonna get rid of them when i go boost.

    but anyway those things we suggested earlier would suffice your need for quick bolt-on performance.

    If your going turbo dont bother getting I/H/E. You Will definetly have to replace the Intake and Header, and If your getting a Turbo you might as well looking to a 3" Turbo back exhaust. But thats just me. Good Luck.
    Boost!

    if you get a turbo - esp a full kit - it comes with headers and an intake. but a turbo is definitely more expensive in addition to the kit itself, supporting mods, and maintenance. but you get a lot of power. with the s/c you get the warranty from toyota and it's less expensive.

    so it's all in what you want to achieve and having he cheese to do it
