jarells13-14 is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm kinda in your same shoes but here's what I thought about it and how I'm proceeding. &nbsp;At first I was just gonna wait till I do save up enough for a turbo kit, but then I thought about it, there's so much other stuff that you need to do b4 you go turbo. &nbsp;Like as one person mentioned suspension, brakes etc. &nbsp;So I took this approach, of all the performance stuff you could buy what couldn't you use, all I came up w/ was an intake, ecu, and a header, which I know I can sell really fast. &nbsp;So I found a used intake and header and bought them now that parts over w/. &nbsp;Now if you buy and exhaust just get 2.5 in piping and that will suffice for when u first get your turbo so that doens't need replacing right away. &nbsp;Next suspension, well your gonna need that going fast or slow hehe(imho). &nbsp;Next you can buy a performance clutch, I'd get a Act 6 puck as your gonna need some grip when you turbo, it's not as harsh as it sounds plus it's cheaper than a street disk. Next you can get a lightened flywheel (still usable w/ turbo). &nbsp;Brakes well who doesn't wanna stop, except when accelerating <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> . &nbsp;Rims, well doesn't make you faster but get's more grip on the road. &nbsp;I'm not sure if you have a lsd but you might want to invest in one of those as they add grip to the road and make driving your car seem like day and night. &nbsp;Short shifter, ok doesn't make you faster but well once you drive with one you'll understand &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>. &nbsp;So I guess what I'm saying getting an intake (injen is pretty much the standard) and a header (the greddy header is nice) isn't a huge investment considering you shouldn't have a hard time getting rid of them and if you don't want to buy those well there's a ton of other stuff you could get that would help increase your speed like a lightned flywheel, exhaust, clutch(well it makes sure you don't lose the power you already got), a lightwieght pulley works wonders(there's a low buck upgrade that's worth it), a high flow cat.??,

Well there's my $.02, ultimately it's your decision, enjoy and have fun sorry if some of what I said sounds repetitive, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
