Default Got $2500

I just sold my 1989 LX for $4500 I finished paying off my 2003 now I got $2500 left. What should I buy? I want a twin turbo, but thats $6500 should I save up. Or get some nice 18x9.5 and 18x12 wheels. Or what else? I want to do a engine swap to a 4.6 DOHC motor. So I dont want to waste my money on the engine for minimal horspower gains. Or mabye a big brake upgrade kit... What would you guys do?
Thanks

I would do a lot of "necessary" mods like gears, headers, midpipe, cai, shifter, tb/plenum, ud pullies, chip, etc. Get all the small mods on there until your a full bolt on, then go with a blower/TT. All those bolt ons will give you a lot of power, then you will see even BETTER gains with FI.

do you know how much horsepower i can get out of my car with a procharger at 8 psi with a full bolt on GT? i just wanna know how much power i can get out of my motor without ripping it down for internals. im also thinking of running some VT stage 2 S/C cams for it also. also, what is the cheapest and best forged internals setup?
