if you need to ask "what mods" then the vehicle is more capable than you are.

Dont waiste your money on a turbo....rip out the motor and put a 1hdft from a 80 series in it, with the hzj75 series bellhousing or complete box, a bundy chassis, or part thereof (coily) 80 series diffs....and boy you would be unstoppable....
For a short while in 1990, the 70 series came out with a 1hz optional...so it isnt a problem with engineering....
