WOW!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO.

I will tell you, if you tell me why "Xray" radiation causes dammage in the RNA/DNA protein strands in their helical arrangements. Then we got a deal.




Search. what is up with your screenname? Something tells me you care less about an upgrade path. Given your screenname, and the fact you ask such a BROAD STROKE question.

Ok, since it appears you want to really know, I will help.

1st: Get some air in and thru the engine by removing the restrictions: Air filter/downpipe/exhaust
2nd: Fuel pump/cams/cam gears

Some people say you don't need a larger intercooler till you get a bigger turbo. I got that message after I got my intercooler.

You need a flash on the ECU (At least) when you start modding the car.

Once you get those supporting mods, you can start looking at turbo upgrades. No Larger injectors are needed until you get a larger turbo as well.

Your question was pretty open ended. You didn't say what car you want to upgrade, if you have any as of yet, or if you have the car yet. Generally, you need to get air in and out, then work on more fuel, then larger turbo, etc... Give more meat and potatos on the question, and we can help you out better. What HP goal do you want to achieve? Are you looking to Dragrace/autox/roadrace the car? Then the formula changes as far as suspension upgrades go. Keep us posted on what car and what goals you want.

uhm... says you drive an srt4... i do believe your upgrade path is as follows

1 stickers
2 tint
3 loud annoying exhaust
4 a big wing to keep your back end down (wtf you drive a fwd)
5 race an evo (from a roll only)
6 realize you need more stickers
7 finally see the fact that fwd cars suck and get something better
