basic NA mods vs. Turbo kits

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.
