Lancer Noob please help

Hey I am just starting to mod my 03 lancer es
Is it even worth putting money into it?
If so what should I start with before eventually turbo
I already have a polished magnaflow catback
But I need some advice what to go with next
From air intake to gear mods to engine upgrades
Any advice is greatly appriciated

Ya my 2 posts would indicate Im real new to this talk about lancers
but about the speakers
I rewired the first amp which is 1600 wat to a deadbolt battery connected under my seat which is charged by superline bats which cost around $200 a pop
I got the 2nd and 3rd amp hooked up to my car battery which had to be imported from Japan and cost me $1300
But look on the bright side
Whats the highest decimal you have seen out of a lancer?
If you dynomat the whole entire car
Roll down all the windows
and have double sided glass
OMG
I have set alarms off 4 blocks down the street
4 dtp's
And I will most likely be in vegas not sure tho
My car isnt the sickest lancer ever
But I cant think of any body else who would spend 7 g's just on sound system:

Just upgrade as parts need to be replaced. What I mean is you think it is time for a new air filter dont get that get a CAI or SRI. Time to change plugs get new wires while you are at it. Dont go Hog wild just as they become available.

Moved to correct forum...

Is it even worth putting money into it?
That's up to you. No one can tell you what something is worth.

If so what should I start with before eventually turbo? I already have a polished magnaflow catback, but I need some advice what to go with next from air intake to gear mods to engine upgrades.
Nothing. Save for the turbo. Buy an RRM kit and you can run forever. You don't need an air intake because the turbo will replace it. Engine upgrades can come later; you only need them if you get greedy for power.

You should buy a set of good tires first. That's the single most important mod on any car. It's also the last thing people think about.
