Default Turbo Kits..Pros & Cons? Any bad experiences?

I just bought a 2001 Limited with the 2.4 non-turbo, but was thinking about adding a turbo. Anyone have any hands on experience? If so please let me know about the dependability, gas mileage/HP before and after? Will this affect the longivity of the motor? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hank

How many miles on the car and are you going to upgrade the internals?

It only has 25k miles on it. I don't know the first thing about it, so please explain "upgrade the internals" ?

The NA engines are NOT designed to operate a turbo. When the GT came out the engine had heavy duty parts. IMHO, it isn't worth attempting to turn it into a turbo. Sorry!!!
