Ok so Im starting to put performance upgrades on my car. I have a cobalt but it belongs to my parents. I drive a Lancer. (Not an evo)

I am looking at

AEM Cold Air Intake
AEM Air Filter
Some kind of strut bar
Possibly an ECU Performance chip.

Pretty much Im wondering what kind of beginner upgrades I should be looking at. I know the ECU chip may not be the best beginner upgrade, but I need some kind of upgrade to make a signifigant difference in my performance.

 

We don't have performance chips in our cars. Get HPTuners.

 

With that said, I would say go with a GM Stage 2 kit and a CAI and you should be good to start things off.

 

How exactly does the HPTuners thing work?

And I dont have a GM car so I cant get that kit.

 

LOL, no a Stage kit won't work without a GM car, sorry about that. HPTuners is a great way to go as well.

 

im trying to put cai on my car and i was wondering if that could make the check engine light come on? if so how can i do it so it wont come on?
