what's your budget?

get a header to complete the basic bolt on setup, then work from there.

I would go w/ the popular DC Sports stainless steel so no rust concerns.

I would buy cams and cam gears for your car, or a skunk 2 intake manifold. You can make about 181 horsepower, or 2 or three more without NOS or a turbo. A stroker kit will increase it to a 1.9 liter engine. That will give serious power, but then again it costs around 2,400 for the

i'd say pick up the header first, then go with a skunk2 intake mani and or cams and cam gears. i just installed a skunk2 intake mani and noticed a lot more mid to top end power on my b18a powered hatch.

Definitly the header first then a set of moderate cams. Cam gears are not needed until you get several other things. Worry about the 4-5 hp items first then work your way to the 1-2hp items.

How much did you pay for the Skunk2 man.& will it fit a intake w/out any mods or did you have to make your intake fit.Also which cams & cam gears do you recommend. I wouldn't pay a rack of money for it. So you can definately tell the difference mid & top end?

umm, i think i paid like 100-150 bucks. bought it from somebody selling it on here a few months ago. it went right in and i used the same intake i had on the stock mani with no mods. had to play with some hoses and whatnot, but it was easy. i'm not sure what cams to go with, i'm still deciding myself.
