it's ok to turbocharge your engine, just make sure its tuned correctly and you should be fine

as for exhaust, removing cat, intakes, you shouldn't have any problems.....mod away!

Check the major horsepower sections of this forum as well as the stickies.

No, don't add an intake to your car. That will cause a restriction. Most of us don't use intakes. Just let whatever go into the engine. Bugs and rocks are good for seal lubrication.
