Should probably search a little more on this. Also, talk to your tuner.

Neither of those are "necessary" but it all depends on how much money you have. If you want, go all out with turbo, cams, and motor build.
Clutch isn't necessary, just keep on using the stock clutch until it wears out.

What made you decide on EF4?

I love how you just say that. Mustang, dynojet, etc.?

You'll be pushing stock rod capabilities at that point... Also, car will be laggy as hell, even more so without E85. This going to be a DD or dedicated weekend/track car?

Talk to your tuner, it's not as simple as "hey I'll throw in a huge turbo and expect magic."

Edit: Great! You have some supporting bolt ons... ish. Who's your tuner? Are you running E85 already? You're going to need bigger injectors for E85 if you do...

Last time I'm going to post here/say this:

1) Talk to your tuner. You pay them, and that's why they'll answer all your questions.

2) EF4 on 93 as a DD will be torture. The lag will be ridiculous.

3) You'll be fine torque-wise with a big turbo, but again, ^those reasons. There are much better mods you could do with that money.

In the end, your money, your car, your decision. But please please please talk to your tuner.

See thats what I heard also. But looking into it it seems the clutch is pretty solid its the cmc thats bad. But only if you change your stock clutch

lets put it this way. what is the point of having the turbo if you can't get it to spool within reasonable rpms, you will have major turbo lag with the late rpm spool if you install the turbo and still have factory cams. Cams help the turbo to spool quicker. if you cannot afford to do them both at the same time, and you have to do them in a list order, then to answer your question, i would put the cams first. wait until your clutch starts slipping to replace it (if its not broke don't fix it). and TALK TO THE TURNER because in the end your tune is going to depend on everything
