I am thinking of upgrading my turbo system to an EVO VII, getting 660 injectors, a safc, and a fuel pump. The question is, what else do I have to upgrade? So I was wondering what the stock HP ratings are for things like the clutch, intercooler, rods, pistons, etc. I have a feeling that once I start building my car I won't want to stop, so I kinda need to know when I will have to replace other parts.....and I assume that the clutch is the first to go.
Thanks
 
u will defanitely need a performance clutch once u start making more power than stock, just because when u make that much power u will also be launching ur car a lot more and driving it harder than usual, ur FWD so ur on a better boat than us AWDers. awd is evil to clutches.

The intercooler would be the next to go, the stock sidemount isnt very effective once u upgrade ur turbo and turn the boost up. An upgraded sidemount with hardpipes would suffice, or u could go with the full front mount, but before u turn ur boost passed about 16 make sure u have a better ic, stock sidemount will just heatsoak after that.

The bottom end of the car is actually stronger than u might think, with just a evo turbo and supporting mods u wont have to reinforce ur internals to handle the power, they should be good for a lot more power than u'll be making so dont worry about that, just worry about the clutch, the fuel system, the intercooler and some motor mounts if u intend to race ur car.
