Default What to do?

So I decided to start moding my 97 gs-t. Only problem is I dont know whare to start or what to do. I already ordered a cat-back but then I started to think maybe I should do other things befor I put that on. I want to do a full exhaust, intake and maybe a BOV. What would you guys say I should do and in what order cause my ability to buy parts all at once isnt possible when im working part time at $8 an hour.

for a decent power kick you will notice. Exhaust is a good start. If you already ordered and exhaust save for a downpipe, intake, BOV, boost gauge and manual boost controller.

Once you get a boost gauge you can use the boost controller to adjust the boost a little higher. Stock is like 9-12 PSI you can safely run 15PSI. You will feel the power gains off of that

Ok thats something I was worried about, that what ever I do wont mess up anything and cost me alot of money. I dont plan on doing anything major either for awhile either. Thank you I really appreciate it.

you wont mess anything up unless you overboost the car. Stay under 15PSI youll be fine. The full exhaust alone will add a little bit more boost and a MBC can get you where you want to be

BOV was already in the mods to do list. I figured there is no need to tell him when it will leak if he isnt going to have it on there when it does leak . BOVs are cheap mods anyway
