Personally,unless you are going to be taking your car to the track,most of the mods just aren't worth it to me,but hey,it's your money and your car to do what you like with it.

I guess you have to ask yourself what you want out of your car.Do you want to take it to the track? Do you want a show car? Are you just trying to look like a big shot? What every you do,just do your research and commit to what suits you and your lifestyle best.
That's completely false. I installed the SBD kit and the total cost (including the ECU turbo flash) was around $3700. Its been very good. Totally changes the nature of the car for the better. Car is kind of a beast now. Installed it about 7000 miles ago, still works great. Easy to maintain if you install the kit yourself and know what each of the turbo components does.

The SBD turbo kit is pretty good. Just make sure you wrap the downpipe in heat wrap and put heat insulation on the wires and rubber hosing.
