Port Wastegate
Get FCD or better yet R tek 1.7 (FCD and timing retard)
Get 2 bigger injectors (720cc for the 1.7 Rtek)
Get exhaust
Get EBC

The above would give better reliabilty and more HP!

I cheated a little bit by putting 2 on 1 mod but there you go a decent build. This is the plan for me this winter, so far racing beat exhaust is check marked and boost gauge and wideband.
That's my exact build. I have everything but #3, which I'm purchasing ASAP. Good list!

good feedback..
I assumed everyone does maintenance work before any mods I went back and forth on whether intake and exhaust should even count. but it is relevant...

I would say most of the TIIs are quick.

fuel pump/injectors
rtek
rb 3" exhaust
BNR stage 4
streetport
coilovers/tires/rims

intake isn't really a big deal on a turbo FC, as long as its not ludicrously restrictive its fine

1.) Tires & wheels (enables other mod to be fully exploited)
2.) Exhaust & intake (cheap power, no need to upgrade other components)
3.) Steering wheel, seat, pedals
4.) Strut bar
5.) Set of good gauges

You know, thats not a bad Idea, I should of made that one of mine. It's not for the lighter load, but ya know when you work out daily and eat the right stuff, your brain functions more efficiently and faster. Thats the best improvement you can hope for.

I was thinking spinach actually.. both help your bloodcell production/prevent heart n liver disease but asparagus never will give you the chance to save an anorexic babe from a bully named Bluto.

lets through some pics in there for visual stimulus
I remember when I first got my car, with a bucket full of issues. bad exhaust leaks, tps, brakes, interior broken pieces, bad starter, alt, wiring, ground system, etc) those were the first things I did to make the car not only reliable but driveable. then the day i fixed the last problem i copped wheels to celebrate
now all of a sudden i shifted from a "quick dd" to trying to break the sound barrier!

Best performance mod I put on my car was when I removed that silly spinny wheel thing that like compresses air (or some ****) and replaced it with twin 12 volt leaf compressors that are wired straight to the battery. Let me tell you that now I'm pushin at least 2k ponies.

You guys forgot a thing or two. So I'll step in.




1. Everyone has said a fuel pump but noone has said the one important step involved in upgrading it. REWIRE THAT BITCH! A Walbro in your tank doesnt mean a damn thing if its only getting 10 volts at WOT.
2. Exhaust and FCD's go hand in hand. If you do one the other should be done at the same time. So that has to count as one thing.
3. Replace all your vacuum lines. Is it really a mod? It is on a car thats almost 2 decades old.
4. The factory intake is restrictive and must be punished and sent to the dump. Tubular intakes kick *** for flow and can be made cheaply. Filters and placement of it are like opinions everyones got their own. Some may be better than others.
5. Something to make the car look better. Primer, spray paint, dents and dings, broken **** hangin off the car, one FTP lense, cracked windshields, rust, etc. This **** aint cool. Do something about it. I've rocked half that list at one point. Then I grew up.
