read, research. put your wallet down for a moment and think about your goals. i know it's hard to do but in the end you'll be happier with the result.

but for fun, and because they are pretty cheap and super easy to install, you'll need an intake. short ram, cold air, doesn't matter. there are plenty of threads on this. just pick the one you like.

^^ x2


And for your whp goals you really dont need to prep your D16z6. They can make 200whp safely on stock internals and a good tune. Make your money, save it, buy some suspsension and then save again for turbo.
