if you've got 18" wheels, your best bet would be to drop it next....if not before...because your car will look like ass otherwise....

there's a turbo kit out for the 5sfe....google it...
and there's the rippmods s/c....

AND asheik9201987: if you have to ask those questions, then I would recommend you take everything to a shop. and an intercooler won't help unless you have boost

and that's why it's a lot more efficient to start off with a v6

the 4banger, running low boost on stock internals or running an s/c on stock internals will only put down as much power as a stock v6

but as it goes, you have to work with what you have

agreed. drop the car with new springs and consider new struts to improve the handling. then consider a rear-sway bar. you'll notice more of a differnece than other "performance" parts.
