Don't forget some people simply don't want to turbo their cars. With a turbo you introduce a host of new potential problems, you have to run a different oil, you have to worry about blowing the motor, temperature becomes a problem, etc.. For some people its simply not practical, for me personally I simply could not rationalize spending 6000$+ all at once on my car, I'd rather put that money towards something better like a ralliart, SRT-4, WRX, etc.. Plus living in Canada makes things interesting, good tuner shops are hard to find and I've heard of people having problems in cold weather with an aftermarket turbo.

More power? You can go faster without making more power.. weight reduction!!! But I don't know if you care about taking people places, or have a family, etc. Strip the interior, put in a racing seat for just the drivers side (passenger if you need a navigator). If you don't want to go that route, I'd just wait and save up for a turbo. You already have a good amount of mods to support it. I'm saving up my money right now.. well after I buy my RRM Stage 2 clutch.
edit: I know you said you don't have enough money.. or didn't want one. But adding onto just a N/A engine takes ALOT of money just to squeeze a LITTLE bit of horsepower out of it.

another thing i was unable to find on the forums when i searched was: just how much boost can you safely get out of the RRM stage 1 or stage 2 turbo before you need to upgrade to forged internals? i thought i saw somewhere that it was possible to get up to around 9-10psi on stock internals but it is very possible i am wrong...if i decided to change the TB and IM would it be better for me to just wait and get both parts at once and install them together? (i was kind of hoping to do bored fuel rail, fpr, IM, and TB all at once). then is that was enough to support the turbo start saving up for the stage 2...good idea or bad idea? i would really like to get the most supporting mods as i can in the car before i headed in the direction of forced induction...i also wanted to say thanks for all of the input each one of you has given, i really appreciate it.

Also, there have been numerous people on the forum that have used the G63 IM in the cars. I was planning on buying kareems but someone got to it before I had the money. I'm pretty sure if you ask around someone in the forum will even have it ported out for you.
