snail=turbo. Thats funny.

Welcome. I would also add an injen intake to that. You could get it all done at S2 Motorsports here in Sacramento.

Anyway, An intake and full turbo-back (downpipe, midpipe, catback) will make good gains only after you get tuned with it on. Bolt ons are nothing without engine management (Cobb AccessPort/EcuTEK) and dyno tuning.

Engine Management and Turbo Back exhaust will give you your biggest gains unless you wanna go major, and get a bigger turbo which of course is going to cost you more. As far as engine Management i HIGHLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY Recommend Cobb, don't do what I did and buy ECUTek then realize that you are going to want different fuel maps for different kinds of gas, and then have to eat the 600 dollar loss and get COBB. Cobb offers you the ability to change boost #'s, fuel maps and pretty much everything with a simple touch of a button, while ECUTek you currently can't.

If you are looking for Turbo's, that will all depends on how much power you want. I would recommend the FP "Green" or 'Red" unless you want insane power then the Rotated GT35R is definately the way to go

If you are really into drag racing, I hope you like buying clutches, because to properly drag race that thing without bogging and just dumping the clutch is to ride the clutch off the line, and well you will definately eat through it fast.
