well, if you get a turbo kit, you will eliminate your factory intake, or any aftermarket intake.

The first thing i would tell you to research you engine and suspension so when you go to add parts or upgrade you have a little idea what you are looking at.
The turbo route is a pretty expensive way to go. Start small as you learn more about your car. How much money are you looking to spend? Do you know what
v-tec is? Are you trying for show or go?

I would start with some suspension work. with the mods I have the car is a blast. I enen have a friend with a 98bmw 318 hatch, sport suspension and all, drive my car and he was impressed. Then when you can handle the power throw on an intake header and exhaust. or if you really need a lot more power spend a ton of money on a turbo. Do a search first a lot of these topics have already been discussed.

A good source of info (besides here ) on how these things such as turbos, intakes, suspension, etc. work is http://www.howstuffworks.com

I would do your suspension first. You need a good set of springs and shocks. Next, get anti-sway bars front and rear. Also, upgrade the brakes. EBC makes a good brake pad.

Next, if your gonna go turbo, I'd definitly research it first. Those things are expensive. For the air filter, get a K&N drop in. It's cheap and is very efective. In fact it's one of the few mods you can do that has no downside.
