let me guess...you watched fast and the furious and loved it to death, and just got your first car, and now you want to become a supercool street racer and will most likely bring harm to innocent people.

learn to drive your car well in stock form, then upgrade parts like suspension, brakes.

decide what your goal is for your car.

determine the pros and cons of each method of tuning, between mechanical and forced induction and what the characteristics are to each of them.

your car is new, and i bet your parents won't be happy if you total it right away and/or void the warranty with a turbo.

i'd say come back and ask that question again after 3 months. we need to see if you and your car is alive by then. that'll be the first test to pass before we give you any other serious suggestion. call it a survival of the fittest (actually, smartest) trial before you start making BIG power. however, i will suggest you the simplier beginners mod like intake, exhuast system, header. you'll get a little something but nothing too big to really make more harm than stock. however, you would still have to learn responsibility and self-restraint/control when people want to induce you to a race. so resist, my friend. good luck and hope you will be back here safe and sound when the time is right to ask the big forced induction question. i will see you again, my young grasshoper (but i probably won't but it just sounds so much wiser and cooler just to say it ).
