(iagree), read it and follow it, has everything you need to know personal suggestions after following that, is 1.) if you ever decide to get a FMIC, get one now instead of spending on the SMIC, altered customs makes a cheap, good solution if you don't want to spend a lot more money, but if your just looking for something that is easier to install get the SMIC, if you are looking for hardpipes, WeaponR has good pipes but just know you better be ordering T-bolt clamps and new silicone couplers when you order them, because you can't drive with the crap ones they give you, they pop off in 2 sec, so if you can get silicone couplers and T-bolts for cheap price and along with the pipe kit, be cheaper than some of the other kits, like turbohoses than go for it, I ended up paying more money for the couplers and bolts with the WeaponR kit, but I might have been able to find cheaper ones if I wasn't in a rush
anyways after all that, up the boost the very last thing.. Terbow mentions a wideband as something that is good if you want to tune and kinda optional... get it, you need it if you want to tune at all with the ss afc and it is really good to have anyways when you mod
-last thing is a great mod for the amount of money is the 626 intake mani, one from PG, just wait until you get some other mods first and you know your way around the car a little more, it's not a hard install just takes a while and you have to know where all the hoses and everything goes and how it works..
-other than that, the thread is the best thing you can read when starting out
