well if you are going to be increasing horsepower with a turbo kit.. I would invest more in suspension area...example.. possible Jim Fab traction bar up front.. also a nice rear swaybar setup..since you already have Front swaybar..and possibly Koni(OTS) to get all the power under control =P... hmm or u can forget all that and get a Quaife Diff in the gsr tranny

If you are 90% done with the turbo, why are you asking what to do next. You already answered your on question.

as far as doing things to the outside of the car?

I know... turbo is soon... but I'm not just ready for boost yet... (tunning & install and so on)

you need some better suspension first off, the strut bars are okay i guess, just the fact that its tenzo is irksome.

if you can't decide if you're going n/a or forced air then you should be in the all motor or foced induction forums

in conclusion, DECIDE FOR YOURSELF, dont have a bunch of h-t'ers decide for you

We're not here to decide what you should do to your car. Do what you want with it, visit the all motor and forced induction forums, do some searches and figure out what YOU want to do.
