Wow you have so much to learn!!!

My 90 NA auto has more money invested into it then I care to mention and it is by no means fast. The car and driver review put it at 0to60 in 8 seconds, fast for the 80's but slow today. And that car was a 5speed. Your car is 23 years old it needs alot before you worry about things like intake and exhaust, and certainly not a turbo. A turbo on a 7mge is a bad idea. It has been done before and concluded to not be worth the effort or money. You already had a problem with the steering so many more problems are to come. If you want to do it right. Find a 7mgte and rebuild it and then you will have some power worth building on. I'm sure if you look you will find many hoses, leaks, and worn parts to keep you busy for a while.

AND WHERE THE HECK DID YOU HEAR A HOOD SCOOP IS A GOOD IDEA, do some research on the principles of cold air intake like not having a big filter sucking hot air.
