go to a junk yard and get a turbo system for a truck then convert it by welding to be bolted on your manifold attach the neccessary hoses for the oil that will probably give you about 150-200 more horses

First of all, i would buy a slip on aftermarket exhaust. A full system is not worth the price. Second, i would buy new tires(and preferably, new rims) to better suit your riding style(motocross, cross-country, flat-track, desert, dunes). If you change the tires, you should change the gearing as well (for stock specs, better acceleration, or for more top speed.) Lastly, I would change the stock air filter to an aftermarket one, such as UNI, or TWIN-AIR, or NO-TOIL. I have had better experience with a foam filter than i have a K&N style one. If you have any money left over, i would save it for gas, oil, oil filters, and spark plugs, you know, stuff for maintenance.If you know nothing about quads, then my recommendation is to leave the technical stuff to a mechanic, because it is tricky to jet the carburetor after adding an exhaust and filter(which will need to be done, if not you will ruin your motor). If after awhile, when you save up some more money, i would put it towards the suspension. It will make your ride feel smoother.
