So obviously, one of the ways is a turbocharger. I believe (not sure) that the engine is a B230F, although I could be wrong. I'll check tomorrow morning to be sure. How difficult would it be to turbocharge this thing, and what kind of gains could I expect to see? What kind of pre-turbocharging things should I check before doing anything at all?

There don't appear to be any oil leaks, so at least that's good to go.

BTW, the car has about 133K miles on it.

*edit* Yep, just took a look. It's a B230F.
