well if your gonna go turbo i woulnt even touch the exhuast as your gonna have to redo it once you go turbo. I wouldnt do a cold air intake either as that will be replaced too. I would do a set of undrive pulleys as you can use that with the turbo and i would do gears 3.73's would be nice in a turbo manual car and 4.10's would be nice with auto. and then a SCT tune for now then save for the turbo kit and get that on there and return it.

Well if you want just bolt-ons you could have a farily quick daily driver. CAI, exhaust, udp, intake spacer, gears, t-lok, tranny mods, I mean the list goes on and on and on. Most start at exhaust and CAI, I did. And after adding the 4.10's and tlok my car is a blast honestly. Took out a '95 GS300 yesterday actually. But really if you want both show and speed just shop around for awhile and if you can't decide on something or want to be sure it works how it is suppost to then ask.

thanks alot I think I'll start with a an exhaust and cai and go from there and learn as I go. I had a question about where or if they make a lip kit for the back bumber of my year mustang 03 coupe. The only reason I ask is because I would like a cut out for a dual exhaust so it will look right when it is installed. I'd like to avoid a body kit bumber but if they make lip kit somewhere that goes attached to my existing bumber that would be awesome

Yeah what Cuban put would be a great start and then as you get farther into the car you can do heads and intake and so on.
