16 sec 1/4 mile is very doable.

Rip the head off and replace it with a turbo head (get headwork done on that too) and a decent cam $1000-1500 maybe...

Headers with a 2 1/4 mandrel exhaust

That would do it i'd say, buy if no you could always just strip it out :)

thanks photoglossy,
well, i have a manifold that came here in mexico with an e16t, very rare cars to find it.
Which turbo can i select to start? is good a t25?
can be compatible the injection of e15et to my e16?
