upgrade sequence can really go any way you want. But for a turbo car the first three things i think are good first mods are:

1. Intake
2. Exhuast
3. MBC and Boost guage

ok...i already got a new exhaust put in, so a new intake would that include a new manifold or just a new air flow system?
A boost gauge i'm getting now with an air/fuel ratio gauge too, but what is an MBC?
Do you know any good makes or brands to use on mitsubishi's i heard you have to buy things and make sure that everything goes good together

injen is a good brand for an intake. And no its not manfold its just a hard pipe. Dont get an A/F guage if it doesnt have a digital readout otherwise its useless and a waste of money. And MBC is manual boost controller. Allows you to change the amount of boost your pushing.

What type of exhaust did you get BTW

nah i wouldnt even bother. All that is gonna do is give you a nice light show . Id just stay with a boost guage and get other guages later on when you actually need then like a wideband (digital a/f guage). But those are more expensive and really kinda unneccesary where your at right now.

haha yeah i figured since im just starting out im trying to save money and get the necessary parts to give my car higher performance...just for future reference though where do you go after intake, exhaust, and boost? I know that i probably need to work on suspension, handling, and just overall maintenance but i know there's more to it further down the line.
