welcome to nico. this is just for power assuming you know what youre gonna do suspension/look/braking/chassis prepping wise
this is not really a guide you can build your car how you want but you can check this out and decide how you want to do things. you can read reviews on which brands you want etc.
simple bolt on upgrades that are pretty cheap and won't affect reliability too much (of course it'll effect emissions)intake sponge without the oil on it/piping3" downpipe3" piping catback exhaustbetter flowing catalytic converter
i like quick engine response i'd upgrade to a carbon drive shaft and a lightweight chromoly flywheel and a lighter alternator pulley
better cooling (radiator/efans/fmic/maybe oil cooler depending how hot it gets etc) and a better fuel system (bigger injectors, fuel pump, maybe fuel pressure regular also) (a new upgraded clutch disc when needed) and a mafs from another car may be needed for more hp.
ecu tuning/dyno tuning/boost controller
for internals you can decide if you want to go that far but i recommend atleast a rocker arm stopper, a thicker metal head gasket, and upgraded valve springs.
you can either do turbo tuning now or continue with more engine internals and headwork.
turbo: new stainless turbo manifold, external wastegate, probably will need a new bov to hold more psi, turbo of choice, etc)
internals block: forged pistons/rings, rods, crankshaft and upgraded bolts.
head: camshafts in/exh (your choice), camgears, valve retainers, valve guides, head bolts, lash killer.
this is what i'm going to go towards after my looks/suspension work is done and if i ever hit it rich lol.. lots of tuning is needed and depending on which parts used hp numbers can be pretty psycho have fun with the car
