fatihofdragon you are running na or turbo, cause how some with a srt4 buy an upgrade turbo. it bolts off!!! i have not brought it yet anyway. the bolts are on the backside of turbo
mwood, Ive understood about 1/4 of what you have said, out of all your posts combined.
How do they upgrade? They have to buy the whole f***ing manifold/turbo setup from what I can tell from this..

ok i understand, mk3design, so what do you suggest to start off with, going to buy the short ram intake off of sharkracing.com, but turbo what do you suggest? or should i build up the engine first
few things first
1. you cant use a short ram intake with a turbo
2. short ram intakes wont net you a good enough hp increase
3. sharkracing.com sucks youll be lucky if you get anything within 4 or 5 months

i know short ram does not work with turbo, i was goin to do that until i get everything that i need for my turbo setup. and i never had problems with them before.
so what would be a good baseline to start with?

get yourself a AEM intake and a unorthodox crank pulley
they will net you about a 20whp increase for about 200bux give or take(if new about 300+)
a turbo is gonna cost you a minimum of a grand MINIMUM dweet tried to do it and almost had it down but gave up
most reliable setups will cost you some buckage even if you get a free turbo
