for example, if you have a CAI, then you must remove it when you buy the rrm turbo. So what about the UDP? if you get that, can you still keep it when you get the turbo? basically if anyone can list me all the N/A/ mods from roadracemotorsports.com that is compatible once you get the rrm turbo kit! thank you

As far as power mods go:
Catback/axleback exhaust
Ported IM
Ported/polished head
Underdrive pulley

Also, keep in mind that used parts for the Ralliart are rare, so you can pretty much count on getting a good price for anything you buy now and sell when you go turbo. I know I'd appreciate having more used parts available.

You didn't read what I said. Used Ralliart parts are rare. The few parts I do see show up on the forums sell for around 75-80% of their original value, which is pretty damn good.

na, i know what you mean, but that's the thing i want to avoid, buying parts that i will have to remove once i go turbo. if i avoid buying them in the first place, then i wont have anything to resell in the future! but i do agree, RA parts are pretty nice used, i got the RRM rear strut bar for $45 shipped! condition was near excellent too

Get a short ram intake for now or something. You can sell that for nearly full price if the filter is in good condition.

I would get a good suspension set up. The stock set up really wont handle the power of the turbo. You need some good rims and sticky tires, brake upgrade (if you plan on taking the car to the track) and Tein coilovers. This will make your car more fun to drive while it is NA, and be help you put the turbo power to the ground.

yeah oer summer, my first mod will be the tein super street coilovers, then i think i will get UDP and a CAI, possibly injen (i hear you can switch from short ram to CAI with injen) i was gonna go for some rims at the end of summe,r but i think i need to saave up for college next year... but we'll see, coilovers for the win though.

oh and LSD is wayyy too pricey...

RRM told me that their camshaft is good for N/A and turbo, when i was ordering it i told them i might go turbo down the road and they said it will still work fine it'll just need a tune.
