If you go turbo, i'd say find a new tranny aswell as it won't fix itself down the road

125km aint bad at all, Turbo it!
BUT for Cost/Performance if your just getting a kit the PW kit from ZX3Tuning is something you should really take a look at as an alternative.

My 1st setup was little more than some nice painted scrap pipes attached to a turbo. It needed too much work and damnit I just wanted to drive it, happy with the s/c thus far....wish for the TQ, but the 1/4 mile times are half decent reguardless of the seat of the pants feel.

I can give you lots of practice about talkin s**t.
Don, your car is so slow I could drag an elevator behind mine and still beat you with time to drink all your beer.

What kind of setup should I get??? I mean, should I keep the same PSI that the kit give or upgrade it right away.
What kind of gauge would I need??

The roush kit is pretty good and comes with everything you need, i'm not sure how the tune is.
Your gonna want a boost gauge, and perhaps a wideband a/f gauge. Maybe oil temp/oil pressure gauges both relatively important when your externalizing the oil. You can determine if you've "sprung a leak" :P
Theres a guy on FF selling a complete brand new focuspower kit, with full 2.5" exhaust and pro racer package. Everything is brand new the guy said he never installed it.....
