Default my new ride and some questions

hi all
I just picked up a 98 v70xc. The car is very clean and is in pretty good mec. condition. it has 105000 miles on it. I paid 3500 for it, the lot was asking 4990. these are the issues it does have.
1: at idle it runs a little rough. not really bad, but it should be smoth and it has a little shake to it. like i said, not bad, but noticeable.
2: their is a somthing a little loose in the front passenger suspension. When i hit a bump or a pothole there is a "clunk"

I wan to get these issues fixed right away, but i have not investigated the problems yet. Any ideas would be appreciated.

also, i would like add a little go fast. Is it possible to install a high pressure turbo? at what cost and benfit? how about remaps? I have about $1500 to play with and would like best bang for buck.

1. Check the engine mounts and see if the throttle body is dirty.
2. I will bet the spring seat or sway bar end link is bad.
