Why is a header one of your choices when you are expecting to get a turbo?

hmmmmmmmm....

$200? Dont think you can get a set of rims for only 200...same for coilovers and shocks

If you were to waste your money on a header then buy a turbo....you'd have to get a crappy one for $200 Same with intake, why buy an intake when your getting a turbo....

Why are you looking for an intercooler before you even have a turbo.

$200 during the x-mas season??? Your either:
Rich-- Do an Engine swap and then worry about the turbo

or

Cheap-- Go buy your loved ones some presents!!!

well. my friend has a turbo and i think we are going to try and hook it up today, i hooked up a single fogger , wet nitrous set up the other day. and going to try and run 8 pounds of boost and a 50 shot and try and rule the streets of SO. CAL for now, until i can afford a motor swap! but thanks for some of the advice that you people have given me!

Strut tower bar or energy susp. bushings........No wait get an upgraded grounding system. Major magazines have been showing big gains on the dyno.
