If you plan to go turbo soon the cold air is a waste of money since you'll have to replace it...

You're going to have to be alot more specific and you're going to have to put alot more thought into how to go about modding a car.

Oh, and one more thing, never mod your car according to someone else's preference or opinion..do what you want. It's your car.

yeah, be more general. we are not mind readers.
but i guess you are asking where to start with your car. you have to ask yourself "what do i want done?"
some start with performance, others started with suspension (i did), others started with audio, etc etc
and once you do decide on what you want to do, read up on what you decide. like buying a header then going turbo would be a waste since the header will get replaced.
or slapping on a Nitrous kit then usng it everytime you get the chance to without taking some precautios. get it?

Why is it that you'd end up having to replace the header? Speaking of which, why would you have to replace the air filter? Is it because if you went with a turbo, it'd be the turbo sucking in the air and not the filter at all?

^^^^You need a custom exhaust manifold with a turbo so it defeats the purpose of buying an aftermarket header. You need a new manifold to connect to your exhaust (every stock non-turbo car is like this).

In response again to Alex Koch - you really have to decide what you want to do and where you want to spend your money. You should do more research before spending any more money, trust me.

^^^Its cool, we all have to learn sometime. The only stupid question is one that is not asked.
