If you are looking at any forced induction, I would reccomend not getting a cold air intake. They are not compatible with almost all turbo systems.

is your car stick or automatic if its automatic i wouldnt recommend doing to much just do a CAI header back exhaust.bigger injectors, light weight pulley, just remember u cant have all that go if u cant stop so id recommend doing suspension first. get some nicer breaks. lower it. strut bars and sway bars. Suspension is always good. if u really want to turbo though go for it. but wait on modding ur engine for now because most performance parts are different for turbo cars but if u turbo u need engine management, u should get a turbo timer, u need boost guages, oil guages. so its not just buying a turbo u need other things with it. hope that helps

looks like ur tc already kinda moded. Ur car should be able to handle turbo fine with trd suspension and clutch. If you are really planning on getting a turbo you should just skip cai, header, exhuast.. etc just put a high flow filter if u want that. pretty much anything to do with engine. You are gonna need somehting else later. turbo kits come with some sor tof intake and you need different exhaust system to work with turbo. I def agree with rvoos2... with turbo timer your turbo will last longer. i believe turbo kits come with e manage. U should also get some sort of traction aid to handle turbo. lsd would be nice.... at least engine damper. oh and better brakes for sure. btw nice mods so far..
