Time to mod!
hello, i got my car 2 months ago and just resealed the oil pan and now i am going to work full time since school is over and going to start modding. i currently have apexi intake, Catback Exhaust System, Apexi Intake system, Apex Power FC, Downpipe and toyo suspension. How much hp do you think i have? my goal with the car is to keep stock twins for now and keep building up a reliable car and increase the hp.
thanks scott

Fluids and spark plugs are good. By fluids, that should include tranny fluid (or gear oil), diff gear oil, and engine coolant.
Also I'd replace the AST, both coolant caps, radiator, and *all* coolant hoses. FPD and update the fuel lines if it's a 92-93 and the recall kit hasn't been installed. Hose job, OMP lines, and injector cleaning is a good idea too. Make sure your radiator ducting is all there and use foam to seal the big leak paths. Install boost and water temp gauges if your PFC doesn't display it prominently.
Then when you're ready to push more power, install the intercooler and boost controller first. Then work on the fuel mods and tuning to up the boost.

^^^ i agree with you 100% but if he is going to be doing any mods that require a fluid change (i.e. anything involving the removal of the turbos for whatever reason) it might be cheaper to do the fluid change during the new part install, that way you're not buying fluids twice.

If it's coolant, I replace it every single time I work on the car. I think of it as an ongoing system flush. Based on the electrolytic attack and other stuff that can happen, it's very cheap insurance.
BTW, what I wrote is far from original material. I condensed much of the info you'll see in past threads like this:
