Any ideas how much you want to spend? Cost is a good starting point.
Generally speaking extractors will give you the most noticeable gain on an otherwise stock motor.

air filter makes it sound cooler even if performance gains are minimal

keep in mind you can be defected for it

where'd you pick up the import motor from?

ill propably put an air filter, and extractors full exhaust. i have been reading the posts and seen a couple of the members have gone turbo. is it safe to run a small setup on 7 psi like some of the examples ive seen?

yep, its possible, but it WILL cost a few grand unless you can do every single bit yourself

i'm trying to keep my converison under $2grand but will see how i go

its quite an enjoyable project if you're doing it yourself, if you just want a turbo car go buy one it will be much simpler :D

think about getting a GA15 throttle body...... and a adjustable fuel regulator..... to go with the extractors, make it all breathe properly
