WoW. Daox, rabbit, many thanks! I felt kinda silly after my last post; mainly 'cos I'm planning for something SO far ahead, but dang! I'm glad I brought it up. I was gonna buy headers this x-mas... I am already stashing away a lil' cash here and there, saving up for a turbo setup ( I am guessing around 3 grand? How close is that? : ) This helps me focus on gearing up for turbo... I will start a new thread for "pre-turbo modifications" so it's more relevant... I appreciate these very informative comments, and would also appreciate any other advice leading up to turbo; like what CAN I do? But that's a whole 'nother thread...
