I was going to buy a bugeye WRX wagon and do an sti swap with a gt30r and shoot for 400hp, but nothing compares to rear wheel drive. I chose my gts-t over a gtr because squirming down the road in third gear with no traction makes you a badass :P

edit: If I'm hauling ass I can watch my gas needle moving downwards :P I think I get about 12mpg in the city, maybe 15 on the highway if I sit at 60mph.
I paid 600 bucks for my first nitrous kit for this car, about 200 for the one I replaced it with. Both were/are jetted for 150hp.

To do a complete turbo kit to add 150 extra HP it would cost me about 8k, plus the cost of rebuilding everything to handle the boost.

I'll stick to refilling bottles at 45 bucks a pop. even if I fill 100 bottles I'm still better off than doing a turbo kit LOL.

My car on the motor makes 414 RWHP, haven't sprayed on this set up but the stock motor made 446/509 (hp/tq) to the wheels on a 150 shot.
