The only major gain your going to get is with a turbo. That will be about 3.5k.

Ahhhh i c, thanx. i checked out andysautosport.com and looked up my car and turbos for it but there are like 70 of em. know any recources i can use to find out which one will fit? Also ive read on other posts that the true power you get from a turbo comes from the supporting aftermarket mods you install with it. What are other mods besides the turbo kit should i look at getting.
p.s.
i just bought an Eibach 2" lowering spring kit woohoo

Your best bet as far as turbos for 3G is to talk to Tearstone. By far the most competent 3G forced induction person there is out there. (As far as Ive ever known anyway) You can usually get a hold of him on C3G or on Tearstone.com. Good choice on the springs tho, Ive got Tien S-techs in my 3G, how are the Eibachs?
BTW- Great avatar.

I was browsing through items on that tearstone site, lots of stuff to look at. Itll be a while before i can throw on the turbo, lack of $$$, lol. but thanks for the resource. As far as the Eibachs go im still waiting for them to come in the mail, just ordered them a few days ago, but ive heard lots of good things about them so im excited as all hell to intall em... even tho its going to make getting in and out of the driveway hell

lol, my bad. the color i think is tampa blue, but idk for sure. im gonna look online at asian chick names and pick one that sounds hot and name my car it :). i like z color 2. hopefully if i keep putting layer after layer of wax on i wont ever have to rename it "rusty". ive been using mcguires "tech wax". i really like that **** it takes out all the swirls and wat not.
