what should i do as my first mod? aem cold air intake? exhaust? ecu like i have no clue lol
its 100% stock car. for now i want to go turbo in like 8-12 months

 

get a GOOD suspension. And don't cheap out. I did and the ride sucks. Now i'm going to getting a whole new suspension when i could use the money for engine mods

 

well since you want to go turbo, i wouldnt get an air intake because you dont use one when you get a turbo, though it would be a good hp gainer if you dont mind selling/tossing it when you get the turbo (make sure it's a cold air intake though you dont want those cheezy ram air ones)

other than that, you could do an exhuast (preferably catback) and some headers

suspension is also a good idea, but like ***** said dont go real cheap on it, otherwise your car will ride/handle like ****

an intake/headers/exhuast are a basic setup to start with, so you might look into those for starters

 

what do you mean suspension, shocks, and lowering springs?

 

exuast or suspention for you first mod.

on the suspention it all depends on what your plans are for the car, and how much you are looking to spend...

i only want to throw 16" rims on and drop like 1.5"
i live in calgary so its hard to get really low without doing hydo or airlift stuff
i dont know to go with coilover or just lowering springs, iv seen people on here talk about coilovers being crap and leaking and making squeeking sounds and stuff, so i dono what to do.

 

Getting spring or coilovers is going to cause you to corner better and feel more confident in the twisties.

Now, if you get the springs with shocks, that will cost around 300.
Coilovers....adjustable ride height.......500.
One or the other. that is what you want. After that I would get a Cat-back (from cataliytic converter back) exhaust. DON'T get headers if you plan on putting a turbo on cause you will have to sell the headers (they cannot be used with the turbo).

Oh, after you get your 16's (good choice!!!) I would look into bigger brakes.

 

i was looking at just replacing with slotted rotters from all 4 wheels, mabey put duel calipers i think i seen em on speed tv the other day

 

i heard the catback doesnt add that much hp, id say get a muffler an customize your exhaust to 2.5-3.0 since u want to go turbocharged on it, thats just my thought tho...
