**** everything on your list, GO STRAIGHT FOR TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

take it from me, its the best investment, that and springs, ground controls

just my thoughts

Since you're buying stuff, throw a set of race tires on there for me.
Truthfully though, I'd go for the turbo if you want power. Don't horse around with other stuff when the turbo will give you plenty to play with in the long run.

seroiusly man, take it from me, i bought everything you got pretty much before i got my turbo, and i regret it, i would get spanked by dave (pro 5) all the time and all i could say is that i had more style, lol. anyway, get the turbo, cause with all the money you spending on the rest you could probably buy a stage 3, then get some springs and struts if possible. dont toy with that other stuff.

youll thank me later

How about a Nitrous Setup..to lay you over until the turbo..than you can use it as an N-tercooler...or an extra kick!!! or even sell it and use the money as a down payment!

this is what i have been doin also. since the begining i knew i wanted a turbo, so i put off all the stuff like header, intake and such. Now i am ready for the turbo. all i have bought is a cheap k&n drop in.

 

[Stealth5]

i think you guys got me all wrong im a lame ass 17 year old with a bad job and a car my dad is paying for

no turbo til its either payed off or the warranty is gone...also, im going more for style right now, not speed, plus i was just doing this to see what i should spend the next money i get on

 

[PaulMP3]

gotcha, I say go with the springs.

 

[sundevilMP5]

yeah don't sweat it about starting off with simple mods...that's what i'm doing right now considering that the car is barely a year old and i don't want/need to void my warranty by throwing on a turbo...$3k is a big chunk of money to be throwing down when you're young...like me...lol

i would forget the cf hood right now and go with the autoexe lip

 

[duMb KeoLa]

well, for me, my car isnt a year old and i say to hell with the warranty, i can fix my car myself, but anyway, first things first i would go with a drop, maybe exhaust, intake, headers to try and get some power, but exhaust and intake sometimes take away and make lag on lower end engine power. ummm....definetly tint and a drop for now, that would be about 500 bucks

Get rid of the stock speakers! or... How about an amp and a sub?
You've got the HU, now put that bad-boy to work!

$500 will easily give you a sweet NX Kit!

So do little stuff like:
- KN panel filter (hold off on any air intake upgrades)
- shorten any air intake hoses
- invest in sparkco wires and nice plugs (~$70us)
- if you drive a stick, short shifter (that's a relatively cheap investment that makes driving fun)
- Sun Hyper Ground Wire system (about $100us) - should get rid of any engine noise in your stereo and improve electronics. Many people trash it but it seems to really work and what the hell, looks cool.

for more expensive stuff:
- suspension / tire / wheel upgrades
- catback exhaust

and then when you have the money in 2 years, TURBO!!!
