you got alot of reaserch to do before you start moding. First off the turbo timer, 30 sec is fine. Now for a BOV and other stuff there are 9832476972 sites to get aftermarket parts from. Just search around for DSM aftermarket. And yes these cars canand will destroy all your civic buddies and mustang kids with some good mods. Right now your looking at a high 14 sec 1.4 mile with the mods you have. And for an intake they only come short ram if thats what you want to call it. I always suggest that Injen is the best brand of intake.

yea those are basically ignorant people that dont know what they are talking about. With small amounts of upgrades you could have your car running 13's and then turbo upgrade and hit 12's. The 4g63 engine is a great platform for building a fast car. For your friends who dnot thin that the 4g63 is a good engine then look at the altime fastest list here
DSM Times
