No money for good turbo kit, but enough money for spacers that muck up your handling.

All you're going to do is screw up the handling of the vehicle, put
excessive stress on the bearings and get problems...Not a very good solution - you're putting the unsprung weight further out,putting the hub/suspension under more stress.Drawbacks include the steering not working and the bearings being shafted about every thousand miles. The handling will become interesting, not just because the steering will become all strange and unbalanced, but the car will bounce up and down quite a lot at the front.

Go to your local wheel shop if you need regular relatively small spacers ... They usually have universal ones in stock!

spacers are safe, just as long as you dont get too big of a spacer. 5mm and under should be ok, but if you want to a bigger spacer, make sure they come with extended studs. H&r is a good brand for spacers.
