Do nothing and save your money. That header and intake will be not be used when you boost.

If you have no money the only way to get performance out of your car is to strip the interior/extra parts to save weight.

Come back for help when you have a bank balance.

First off you cant boost it more if you havent boosted it before.
Forced Induction is the only way to boost your car.
The parts you have on your car are not boost parts but NA.

Save your money up and go turbo.

I think he obviously knows that, of course. He just word it incorrectly. What he meant was if there was anything else he can do to get more power out of his LS.

Be patient with what you have (I/H/E) and save up for a turbo kit.

Save and while your saving go into the FI forum and read some so you know what the hell to do with your money when you finally get it.

Try to make a list of the proper parts for your Turbo setup.

Also keep in mind of who is going to tune your car.

Due some research on Tuners in your neighborhood.

Your intake and headers will be useless. Maybe start looking into getting a manifold for your turbo, then getting the turbo that fits the manifold, and continue piecing it together. Or just save up for a complete kit.
