Default newbie mods

Hi everyone

So i am new to the mod aspect of the auto world, just to start off. I am trying to get a thought process together before i make any big purchases. I will eventually want to go down the path of making my s2k turbo. My warranty will be expiring April 2010 and will want to start moding my car. I really dont want to start off with intake and exhaust as my first purchases, for the fact that i dont know what type of turbo i want to go with so i dont want to waste the money on exhaust that wont work with the setup. So my real question is what should i start off with? (also for all the turbo s2k out there what setup did you go with)

Thanks

thanks for the thread...Im looking to have about 450+ with a time frame of about a year and a half to 2 years come April....im looking to spend a total amount of 14k for the whole project...if that figure is even reasonable(dont really know...but have researched it a little and looks like that is how much i would have to spend to buy parts for my project)...i have looked at inlinepro and am very impressed with their dedication and marksmenship with the s2k...would you recommend them and do you know anyone around here that has used them already

Thanks

Inline is very good for there kits. I would wait to check out PTuning's new turbo kit coming out for the S2K tho, hearing that the kit is going to be very competitive or better then inline's. Im sure Chris will chime in and help out. I would like D.K. said check out that link
