well i know i'm kinda new but i've got some mods on my car. So far i have a intake, which is undobtedly my best mod so far. I also did some decorative mods like adding neons in my footwells which looks sick. I also just ordered a RS-R ex mag catback exhaust. Then i plan to do headders. So you can take my route and do small bpu upgrades, or you do mods like some guys do with turbo kits, supercharger kits, and nitrous. So it's basically up to how much power you want, and how driveable and pratical you want your car's mods to be. well that's my 2 cents.

I personally would go the turbo route. Reinforce the motor by re-sleeving the pistons, porting and polishing, blue printing, of course new cams.. Wont be much need for a CAI (cold air intake) if you do buy a turbo so, buy a nice turbo after you have reinforced your motor. You could push 20+ psi easy if you strengthen things right.
Also if you have any cash suspension is always a good thing.. this is assuming that you havent done any thing to it yet. I am a fan of Skunk2 coilovers, but everyone has different opinions. thats my .02

a turbo is a lot of work...not generally for novices
it isnt something that you can bolt on and call it done...it takes lots of maintenance and carefull monitoring. I also recommend that you either start doing A LOT of reading on your own (start buy buying a book titled MAXIMUM BOOST by Corky Bell) if you wish to go turbo, or just do I/H/E (intake/header/exhaust) and call it done. From what Ive read of all your other posts...I HIGHLY recommend the latter |
