Thats what I was looking into actually! But is there anything I should upgrade before I get the kit? Also what stage would be the most reliable as I plan to still drive it as a dd?

turbos don't use a header and require a new dp. so a full exhaust would be a waste of time and money if you planned on going turbo.

all you need is a good 2.5" or 3" cat-back and you'll be set.

Since you are new to fi and you want to keep your car a dd I would get the zzp stage I kit because it doesn't give gobs of power(just a bit more pep in your step) and if you bump up to the stage II you might need to do more work i.e. valvetrain especially if your car is going to have a rev limiter of 7000 or more (if your tune has it set that high) So the stage I is pretty safe overall.

since I need to get tuned after I pretty much do any mods would I be safe to bump my rev limiter up to 7k? Also as of right now I have the 2.4 intake mani and an injen cai (that I run short ram) and I also have the tsudo cat-back. So with that being said does any of this have to change if I go turbo?
