also, most of our answers are going to be moving the car toward a performance machine. if you want the car to be a show car, then our previous suggestions aren't going to accomplish that. so it all depends on what you want the car to be. do you want it as a show car(lambo doors, sound system, tvs), or do you want a performance car(suspension, turbo upgrades, intercooler upgrades)?

Between GSt and GSX that is up to you and what your building the car to do. The GSX is a track car its faster in the 1\4 with a good launch aand it is prob better at autoXing as well the GSt is the way to go if you want a street raceing machine. From a roll the GSt will beat a GSX but from a stop it is the oppisite.

If it were me Id buy a GSX because I have an EVO and love the AWD. from a stop you cant touch it. Plus it is fun to play around with in the rain and get is sideways around corners.

as posted in many other threads where this question was asked....intake, exhaust, mbc, 1g crushed bov, and upper ic piping should be the first mods.

type of intake...i think injen makes one
mbc(manual boost controller)....search through some of the other threads, its been posted, i just can't remember the name
upper intercooler piping...ive seen it listed as a good mod but i don't know how you get just the upper piping done unless its a custom piping. someone correct me if im wrong, but i think you can buy an intercooler piping kit that would replace all of the intercooler piping.

1G crushed BOV....you can get that from a junkyard off of a 1G(89-94) turboed eclipse.

exhaust....i don't know of a specific company, just get a 3" turbo-back exhaust. maybe some of the other guys can give you a brand name.

I think they assume by saying upper IC piping that you're talking about all IC piping I dunno maybe I'm wrong.

Upper ic is the pipe from the inner fender to the tb, not the one to the turbo

why not replace the piping from the turbo to the intercooler?
