Question ready to buy first mods, search not working.

Tried using search, but not working for me.
The RX is stored for the winter. So I have time to strat upgrading. Any help is appreiciated.
What is the consensus on the best air intake and turbo timer to buy? Also just moved to Maplewood, NJ if anyone is up in northern Jersey.
TIA

then there is plenty of time to look around a bit then, right?
first thing i would tell you to do is change the fuel filter if you dont absolutly know the milage of it. buy a boost guage. buy a shop manual. change your plugs. .in that order. then search a little harder on here for the other stuff.
visit the NE section for many local people/events.

Change all filters and oils so you know you are on a good page to begin with. Then boost gauge, water temp guage, downpipe, radiator, aluminum AST, replace the vacum hoses.

After doing all the fluids & maintenence, fan mod, a boost gauge, temp gauge & downpipe. If things work right, then ECU, intake, and boost controller.

Cheap intake link: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=121491

Things still working right? radiator, catback & intercooler!

This should keep you busy for a while, and put a hole in your bank account.
