You either hand it over to a shop and say I want this and that or you read a few books/articles and say to yourself I need this and that.

build the transmission, worry about getting more power to the tires before worrying about more air and fuel.

you're out of your league if you think you can put a CAI and a header on a turbo car.

That said, you'll get more gain out of 12psi than you'll get with $8K going N/A on a d series.
