hiboost is great for a complete kit. if you end up wanting to stay mostly stock, you could check with unichip and just get a stand alone fuel and engine management controller. it is just a piggy-back to the stock ECU and it is affordable, but unichip doesn't like add-ons much, so you would be staying mostly stock. you could still do work like a FMIC, hard-pipes, BOV, single-runner intake, ignition work, CAI, exhaust manifold, downpipe, etc., but you wouldn't be able to use larger injectors or turbos. you could only use the stock ones.

Trade in your current ride and get a Speed, you get all the warranty, and can Mod the hell out of it just like now....

first off...if you have a chip, it's not doing anything.....so just take it off.

if you go turbo, your intake and header are useless as well, so keep that in mind unless you have buyers for those.
