drag, rev hard, greddy, are all good kits. the greddy wont make as much power as the other two though.

and the intake has given you probably 2-5 hp max.

Look into getting a header and cat and then do suspension but most important get yourself some good rubber.

Yes, turbo. Be careful with that, boost is addictive. You just want more, and more, and more, and...whoops, blown motor.

if ur really looking into going forced induction..then dont waste ur money on parts that u'll replace...such as a cai, headers...i think that u should really set ur mind on what u want out of the car and which route u want to go..if u want to go turbo eventually then start working on ur fuel management
i wasted my money on an aem cai (great product btw) but i had to pull it out later on and its money i could have saved =)

Yeah, start out with your fuel system (unless you're going to get a turbo KIT, the kits will come with the fuel system). Get some injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, high flow fuel filter, maybe even a fuel rail. All these things, other than the injectors and pump, are made by AEM. Get a Walbro (spelling?) 220lb fuel pump. Once you get these things, you can buy a manifold, turbo, piping, intercooler, FMU, and oil feed lines and you're ready for turbo. But make sure you have your fuel system done up otherwise you'll lean out and blow your motor.

thanx guys for all the help, i do have some rubber and some sweet rims on my car. Now i would like to go turbo but the price for the actual turbo kis is out of my range right now. I want increased hp so what should i do that will still add hp but make my car turbo ready so i won't have to replace stuff i already have but that is not turbo capable?
