i would do some suspension mods. i did that before i started gathering turbo parts and i found my car to be quite fun to drive despite the lack of ballsy power. im not turbo'd yet but i will be soon.

Save up on a turbo and just run around on stock b16 b/c as we all know b16 sucks for n/a and make no power without putting TONS of money in to it.

but for now what will benefit you later for turbo that could you actually put on your car now would be getting a walbro 255 high flow fuel pump. You can put this in the car now with no need to tune the car. You can get your oil pressure gauge and actually hook the oil pressure gauge up now, Really about sums up what would be worthy to get now that you could actually put on and be ready for turbo later and won't be out any money on n/a stuff.

Oh yeah and you could get your oil pan tapped now and just throw a block off plug on it, so your ready for that as well.

now search and find good turbo parts for you car untill you have them all =)

tapping the pan before he has his manifold and turbo might turn into a problem with figuring out the oil return line. i had a fitting welded to a spare pan i had before i bought the manifold im going to use. when i was mocking my block/turbo setup, i found out it wont line up at all.

sounds like you need to move the turbo around on the manifold so the return hole from turbo is pointed in the proper directrion or find you a different return line

i had mine tapped before I was turbo'd and everything lined up perfectly fine with no problems.

As far as suspension I do have new bilstein shocks and h&r springs that's about it

Not another one of these fucking threads. Doesn't anyone use the search button.

It depends on if you're running an A/C or non-A/C compatible manifold and how the manifold is designed (Top mount, log, mini-ram, ram horn, etc.)

Sounds like you just got lucky.

At least someone said the b16 isnt a waste, by the way how much boost are you pushing? and what kind of power are you making??

who?

b16's aren't a waste if you boost them.

mines bone stock with 142,000+ miles on 8psi making 250-270whp. It runs good for what it is. Its fun little street car now.
