Don't waste your money on power mods prior to boost. Get a clutch and make sure the motor is in the best shape it can be.

Intake will be wasted money literally as you cannot use it while boosted. A intake manifold will not be needed as you can make more than enough with stock.

You could but again I wouldn't. Instead why don't you buy pieces you will need as you go? Fuel pump......injectors......clutch.....brakes.....etc

what i did back in 09 before i boosted it, was a good clutch, fuel pump, suspension, and brakes.

intake manifold wont harm anything. but, once you start assembling and boost theyll be a bunch of little stuff youll need or changes to be made. different if you already had one.

I guess what needs to be said is on a B18b any little bolt on mods you do prior to boost you will not notice. You won't put on the intake and then drive around the block and go "WOW!". Focus on boost.

You could install the clutch, ensure the engine is in tip-top shape, test fit the intercooler and piping, and install the Walbro 255lph.

Doing anything more than this is wasteful rework...no point.

IM upgrade on an LS is stupid. If anything, save for a VTEC head. LS heads flow like **** and no matter how much time/ effort you put into them, they'll only ever be as good as a stock VTEC head
