Default Cold air intake and turbo

So this past weekend i got my first car and it a 1990 2.2l Dodge Shadow. It runs great and all but i want to know can i put a cold air intake on it? Also i want to put a bolt on turbo on it, does anyone know it thats possible. I just want to have ableto get up and go. Any help would be great thanks.

CAI, yes, but you'll have to fabricate the plumbing yourself,

Turbo...not really unless you intend to run under 5 lbs of boost (unless you go get a T1 or TII motor, which had turbo specific internals_

Ok I was thinking about just using a short ram intake since theres a large space in my engine, and i would make that easier then following the intake in there. Now as for a turbo i was thinking just swapping out the 2.2 with a 2.5 from the junk yard. Could that handle a turbo(besides the one on it, like a bigger one). This is my first car and want to make it a project car so all the lil ricers at this school shut the hell up. So any idea on how to make it faster lemmie know please

If you wanted to swap engines, just find a turbo dodge, and swap that engine. 2.5 wouldnt necessarily handle the power your wanting to "shut up the lil ricers".

*cough* turbododge.com *cough*
