Faya, take what I and these guys have basically said in one sense or another.

Most people go for broke when going big. They tend to forget about alot of small things.

Just know when you spend your 12-15K. Please, do have another 15K of cash waiting or on credit in case you will need a new motor or engine rebuild.

Insurance and warranty will not cover you here.

i am getting the feel of it now. it is really a big decision to make. :) it sounds like a lot of money..

i appreciate all the inputs.. feel free to share your thoughts..

Planning is the key when you undertake on a boost project. Make sure you have the "Oh ****" fund available or you will not like the results when things go wrong. I am not regretting any of my moves at all. If i were to go back and do it again, I would payoff the car first and then install my mods after. Right now, I am getting close to paying it off, but it is sitting @ UPREV awaiting a replacement radiator (the thing stated leaking after about 9-10 months).

On a side note, I made sure I got all top quality parts for my build. I think the only "popular" parts that I have in common with most of the other builds out there are Z-Speed CSC, Setrab Oil Cooler Core, Tial WGs/BOVs, and UPREV for tuning. I went against the grain and went Greddy TT, Competition Clutch Twin Disk clutch, Aeromotive 340lbs/hr Fuel Pump, ID1000 injectors, and Zerolift Autolab for equipment install.

Research and a well thought out plan are VERY important. It doesn't hurt to know who to go to for installation, parts, and advice (when necessary). I could have done the install myself, but I was out of the country and took advantage of some of the experts in the game. Good luck.
