That is pretty sick! I have debated about going turbo for a while, but I think that the "on-off" feel of a modified turbo would be a big problem when in the middle of a corner with such a light car. I was leaning more towards a PP for the long range goals. Besides, the turbo would add a bunch of weight to the car and make it a pain to work on (compared to a NA). I'm still think about it even more now that I relocated the battery out of the engine compartment and have room on top of the trans / flywheel area for a turbo..... 
I've got enough to do now, but maybe when this is finished.
BTW - the EM solo nationals was won by a Bugeye sprite (cousin of the Midget) with a 20B in it! They said he had trouble at one corner where he would get a 1 cone penelty. He wasn't hitting the cone, but his side-pipe exhaust would blow the cone over from a huge flame it would thow out at the same spot every run. I had heard the flame was at least 10ft!

I'm taking the car up to a body shop near me today to get a quote on paint. Wish me luck, the budget is tight

Stay away from auto collision experts (used to be behind cranberry mall). That was the shop where my car got broken into and they stole my stereo and turbo. Then the shop tried to tell me there weren't in the car when I dropped it off.
