This is what I came up with when I searched for a Turbo Kit.

I have to agree with this!
If your financial situation is good then I would suggest a motorcycle. Turboing a N/A car will cost you a ton of money in the long run. Ask anyone that has done it and they will tell you that it's not as simple as slapping on the turbo and having fun.
When I dropped the SR20DET in my 240 I thought it was going to be swap and have fun...I was soooo wrong. I was just lucky enough to sell the car for the same amount that I put into it. And that was with a factory turbo engine.
Just make sure to factor in the following just to get started:
Turbo
Manifold
Injectors
Fuel Pump
Fuel rail (depending on the setup)
Clutch
Fuel/Engine Management
Fittings (oil/coolant)
Intercooler
Custom Piping
Exhaust/Downpipe
Then you have to set money in reserve for the stuff you will inevitably break. The saying "cheap/fast/reliable, pick two" is very true.

i would say get an sv650, cheap and fast and reliable. . .lol you got to pick 3 there, almost any bike will be faster than 99% of the cars on the road anyway

I just got a 99 ZX6R for 2300, needs minor bodywork, but otherwise killer. Keep an eye on Craigslist, you'll eventually find something. Oh, and ZoomZoomH, love the avatar, funniest video ever.

how many miles you have under your belt before you sold the cruiser?
i would suggest the SV650 also, i love mine. good bit of low end torque and a nice smooth powerband all the way through. they sit more upright than any SS 600's, and seem the controls are more forgiving and less tempermental. as far as getting one for 2k, that might be a little tough, but who knows...
that and the fact that they are just great lookin bikes too... heres mine
