Default parts for my acura

k so i have gone away from getting a torbo for now on my 95 ls. however iwould still like to do the IHE and maybe some wheels and suspension. This is the first car i will add after market parts to and was wondering how to chose between the brand names like greddy and apexi they seem to be similar parts what seperates. Any suggestions as to what to go with for IHE would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
opinions are welcome

the intake and header are replaced with a turbo system, so dont waste your money on them. Plus you really need different exhuast with a turbo then a NA car, so its best to wait almost, or until the turbo to do that as well.

IF u are goign to go turbo don't waste your money on a header or air intake cause that stuff won't work with a turbo, and if u get exhuast u need to get one that is a straight through desgin not chambered. ALso do your research its not that easy to just throw a turbo on there are a lot of things to take into account. I have a Turbo GSr and it is a lot more involved and research is golden!! Do that first before anything

I used to have IHE for my ls. You won't notice the difference until you drive an un-modified ls. If i could've went back, i would've difinently waited for turbo. Eventually IHE gets boring. I remember when i was doing research, I just found turbo too overwhelming with what is needed but now i wish i had my... $1200 back from I/H/E and put it towards my FI route.

I'm just warning you, wait until you've figured every route to do then choose what application you want.

ps: suspension is always an A+ idea.

u can get a greddy turbo kit which is 50 states legal, however u can not run a BOV or FMIC cause those are not legal, but the straight kit is street legal in all 50 states for your car
