    2.50'' exhaust piping, bigger fuel injectors, fuel pump, short ram intake. Pending on how much boost/psi your looking for, upgrading the internals of your engine would be a huge help in handling higher tolerences. I would even do your pullies as well.

    So, is my aftermarket exhaust from header to exhaust are 2.25 piping? If so, where do I go or shud I get a new 1 be4 turbo upgrade? I am thinking of getting the Dezod turbo kit which shud include injectors n SRI right? Besides these, shud I do the upgrades that u mentioned all together when I go turbo?
    Btw, I am not really familiar with the PSI or boost thing yet. But I will be looking for 300+ whp after turbo upgrade.

    Your best bet would be to upgrade the exhaust piping diameter from 2.25 to 2.50. Some turbo kits come w/ the internal upgrades and what you'll need w/ their package, and others you'll need to buy the upgrades. You may or may not need to upgrade your cam shaft, but I do know that gaskets and seals are a big yes as well. I also don't know if turbo kits come w/ a SRI or not, but if they do thats a plus. If you can take the car to a shop that has a dyno that will be a huge plus to you as well, they can custom tune your car to its fullest potential. Plus you'll have the dyno sheet to back everything up.

    Thanks scott, i will keep that in mind. Yeh, I might do the turbo upgrade in my local dyno store, so i cud do everything together. Well, here is the next question, I think dezod has a gd turbo kits, other than that, is there any brands have good reviews? I am going to do some research before I go to boost, and I have time to do so.

    The only name brands/sites I know of and those that have had great reviews are:

    * P-Tuning
    * Dezod
    * HKS
    * Turbonetics
    * Garret
    * FastScions
