Why do you think you need to add more fuel?

Does it run okay?

A wideband O2 sensor is probably a good idea first.

decide what route your going to take first. If you go turbo it will have an influence on every purchase you make.

If you're going to do that then just leave it alone till you decide to actually add the turbo. You're never gonna get back what you paid for all the NA stuff you are/gonna buy. Just start saving your money for the turbo build. You're gonna need as much money as you can possibly get to get it tuned.

Exactly, just wait. Save your money. You'll want more power once you go turbo so save your money so you can build the engine for the turbo.

So you dont have all the "air" mods like you said you did.

You don't need bigger injectors unless you are turbo or have very agressive cams.

Only if you need more fuel. With your setup I would say that you don't need them.
