haha okay I thought so. Over all I only want to put around 5k tops for the car. It has 80 miles and I got the car for 10k. We'll see, if I get super hooked then I might end up doing a lot more, but we'll see

Yeah man, unless you invest in a turbo you're not going to get
any type of performance gains.
My advice, if you're going to put some money into it, just try to
make it look good
If you're going for performance though,
don't waste your money on things like an intake, you won't see
any power gains, keep saving up for that turbo.

With enough well chosen bolt ons and and good tune or RRM chip, you'll see decent performance increase without having to fork out that much cash all at once for a turbo which will then also require more bolt ons to get full potential. Decide how much you're willing to spend then talk to Rob at RRM. He'll make some good recommendations.

Im gonna agree with amby here. He would know first hand about the bolt-ons. If you are really looking for decent gain in power your best bet is to go turbo. Id say snag up the speed corps manifold and other mods to go with it. You can pretty much piece together a turbo kit for about $1,000-$2,500 depending on if you want new or used parts. Check this out http://stores.speedcorps.com/-strse-...Categories.bok thats pretty much just about everything you would need for a turbo build on there!!!
I hear that all to well. The place that did my original turbo setup, cnfx, who is no longer in business. Did a horrible job and now im paying in the end by having to redo my entire kit!!

No you won't, I had every RRM bolt-on, high compression pistons (from Buschur) and I gained very little power over stock. Bolt-ons are a waste in terms of bang for your buck. If you want to learn more about your engine or modding in general, go for it but don't buy an intake under the naive idea that you'll gain any power from it.
