Next upgrade? Opinions ...

Hey guys. Here is what I have so far. Want to know what I should do next. Kind of limited at the moment since I have the SAI, but want to know what you guys think I should do next.

Specs:

18" Lenso Rims
Eibach Sportlines
20% Tints all around
Projector Headlights w/HID's
K&N Typhoon SRI


What now?

I would say intake or springs. You aren't going to like the rims if you don't get it lowered first or at the same time. Your balt will look like a 4x4.

I have an intake AND springs. I posted the specs for a reason.

Yeah, I was thinking this as well. Wouldn't it be pointless though without headers? Remember, I have the SAI so there are no headers available for my car right now. Which exhaust should I get though?

Oops, I am not fully awake yet. I thought you were asking which of those should you do next.

if you have a credit card...or you actualy know how to save money, id say get the garrett turbo kit.

it replaces everything to do with the SAI..


then the only thing to do after the turbo kit is to build up your tranny/motor...then things like nos...and a bigger turbo.


in short with a built up motor/trans and a turbo kit...the only things you can really do is just buy a bigger turbo.

Yeah but how much are the turbo kits for my car? Also, are my internals strong enough to handle me dropping a turbo in there? I know I'd have to tune some, but can my engine handle it?
