I plan on doing 1 step at a time, you know intake, then turbo back exhaust, fuel pump. Maybe cams?

Would it be wise to get a new bov & injectors before I get the turbo?

But i'm going to be saving up and pay off the car before getting the turbo. I just want to ask questions now so I can figure out what I will be getting into.

ok so what i said earlier would be correct anyways i agree to many people get caught up in the hype if you dont have 20k then your looking at the wrong turbo. it will break and be a track queen 700+ is not a ideal daily driver and would require a triple disk in most cases 4-5k right there again i said earlier whoa a 30k build not worth it in my opinion you will be building then selling that car real soon. 420-600 is more manable and attaible with true reiablity in mind. guezz we have stock frame turbos laying down 700whp now haaa so take it slow start with your basic bolt on first

ported intake manifold
ported T/b
Intercooler pipes
aps bov or crushed evo 9 bov
3" TBE
ported exhaust manifold or Tubular
o2 housing (megan ebay ss 02 etc)
cams(kelford 272 hks 272 s1 pending turbo choice)

start there first get that done then holla at me about a turbo upgrade

Sorry, ported? Meaning no air being able to leave it right?

http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...-Manifold.html

Would that manifold be good?

02 housing

and..
TBE

Seeing as the cat is not there. Would I still be able to pass inspection? (VA)

OR

Could I do this?

You do what you want but with what I was just reading on AWDmotorsports and their FP black. I think I would save some of your money and go that route. Either way a motor build is a for sure and I would go with minimum 1000cc's on pump. Read the awdmotorsports post on the black. Good luck bro. Let us know. Just my .02

your all over the place hommie. that manifold would require a stand alone ecu like AEM or something not really needed the stock ecu can get you plenty of power. You are spending money like you have 20k in the bank. There are some really great parts out there besides AMS sorry had to say that but there are expand your mind to other products. AMS makes some damn good stuff but there are others in the game that can do the same. look around.

btw dont go lower then 1000cc injectors

Is it bad to have more than 1000cc injectors running less than 400hp?
