    besides an air filter? haha are you being serious? well, depending on what car you have, you might have to upgrade some internals. supporting mods, full exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, engine management, the list goes on and on lol.

    ps; but seeing as how you have to ask for advice. im gonna guess that you're a kid who knows as much about cars as a girl knows how to take a piss standing up. if i were you i'd continue saving money and buy everything you need first and then install everything at once. jmo.

    Add to that list a turbo manifold and the turbocharger itself. At least. You can run very low boost without EM in some cases. Depends on the motor. It's a really long and involved process to boost a normally NA car. Just fyi.

    You'd better brace for some serious flaming...even though you're just trying to learn. Good luck.

    I think you need a turbo also............I am guessing you should just go to a shop and have them build a kit for you and advise you.

    a car with a turbo already on it sounds perfect for you!

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
