Staying n/a? If so get headers and a full exhaust
Or save for a turbo (kit that supports oft) |

n/a = naturally aspirated, versus f/i (forced induction, ie. turbo or supercharger)

Congrats on the new car. So you bought an OFT without researching it first? Lol
You can add a reverse camera for about $200 installed. Window tint is always a must if you live where it gets 100+. Exhaust is good to get rid of those tiny OEM tips and give you a better sound. Look at OEM Audio if you want a bad ass audio upgrade. Coilovers or lowering springs should be high on the list as well. While you're at it, get some new wheels on there... Shoot, did you buy the car so the forum members can build it or so you can!? Decide what's important to you, look at the members car journals for ideas, and check out the threads "what did you do to your frs/brz today" for a ton of other ideas. Hope you have a decent sized wallet! Once you start modding it's hard to stop! P.S. Check out my build thread linked below for some ideas and a list of my mods.

I do plan on getting a supercharger in a few years.. I just want more power.
but a Supercharger is a long time away with my budget -_- OFT seemed better the EcuTeK .. seen journals of adding 17 whp to stock.. And seems very user friendly. |

You'll hear this sooner or later, but if you're looking for power then you brought the wrong car.
