ok, so i was going to do at least one thing to my car this week, on top of getting the wheels aligned, but im only looking to spend $150 or less.

i was wondering what you guys think would be the best idea. i want to turbo my ka down the road, but dont know what to do first in order to get ready for the turbo.

all opinions welcome.

its a block off plate - blocks air from going into downpipe.

i.e more air in intake manifold.

and one of the things that will eventually have to be done when going ka-t
