What should I shop for?

I'm completely stock, just got a new clutch installed... so I need to start the buildup process to burn it up.... j/k But seriously....my goals aren't anything more than low 13's at the moment (havn't seen the boost bug hangin' around yet, but 'm sure he's watching and waiting ). I race almost entirely on the streets, so this is my only real area of concern. I also have a FWD (make sure to keep this in mind). I'm going to score the widest tires I can fit on a 16" rim in a 40-45 profile +adjustable shocks and some beefy springs so that's out. As for what size exhaust/dp/o2 and Turbo to get for mid-upper range power(I won't be able to get much low end power to the ground for a while, so it has to be in the high range) I don't know how to go. The main concern here is keeping my traction... and then I'll catch up to them afterwards. So what do you guys suggest?

The key to traction in a fwd is drag radials and a diff.
As for the rest i would start with a rewired fuel pump, hacked mas, 3 inch turbo back(just so you dont have to upgrade later) mbc, upper intake pipe and a boost gauge / a/f gauge. You can keep the 14b for now. Get the other stuff first.
there is also alot of good reading out there

hope this helps you get started. Good luck and have fun with it.
