well take a look at your cash?? do you have the funds for a swap??? if not you can bulid on your F22 it holds boost well. I've seen them start off with a decent turbo kit setup 280hp.. In my case i started off with the usual intake (short Ram its wet in New Orleans).. cat-bac... maybe a tune-up, drop it maybe??? take a trip to a junk yard and replace any parts( same good money) maybe paint the wheels???

look around on the net ask around itz good for u

look into a intake manifold swap from a h23a prelude, that will give you a lot of whp, stock intake manifolds stuck

cold air, header ( if u dont plan on turboing) underdrive pulleys, chipped ecu, get 2.25 exhaust piping from catback and get a namebrand muffler, a lot cheaper to have a muffer shop put 2.25 exhaust on rather than buying a catback off ebay, you could get a hi flow cat or a test pipe, look in to the h23 intake manifold swap, and get a bigger throttle body, these are all pretty good starter upgrades
