Tach is pointless waste of money. It will be an even bigger pointless waste of money when every time you get pulled over a cop notices your GIANT tach and shift light and profiles you as a street racer and then looks for reasons to ticket you.

DSMLink x1000, or ecu flash/ evo scan. Its more than just for power, you can use it to diagnose issues. You can use it to get better fuel economy. Its the best thing you can do in the long run besides get good tires.
 
I wish I had his dad at 17..

RIGHT im lucky

x2! but seriously don't get a tach..... it's very.... tachy. just get the triple pillar pod, they are something I love without making it be ricey n such. vent pods as well? colored hoses in the bay, stainless steel lines ect.

i orderd two oil and water gauges

what would be my next step on adding horspower?
 
Bro they have broken down evert aspect of the upgrade paths. Stop being lazy and trying to get spoon fed info. Take some time and research before they flame you
 
Boost leak test, FMIC, better BOV (type s), header, wire tuck, bigger brakes, ECM link, and maybe a system?

A tac? And dont put racing seats or anything else ricey on or in the car, or I WILL find you too. Sounds like youve got a good DSM on your hands, dont #### it up.

Also, dont just change the timing belt, get a FULL brand new timing kit. Belt, pulleys, tensioner, tensioner pulleys, everything. Pick it up from ExtremePSI for 300$

Yes make sure you change the hydrualic tensioner Or you'll regret it... Trust me tthats how the owner before ne bent the valves and left some decent marks in the pistons
 
Just an FYI, it's been proven that any aftermarket tachometer increases the chance of crankwalk by 45%. Add on the shift light for an extra 25% chance.

First mod should be something to eat and drink (you'll be sitting for a while). Next should be a few good finger exercises, so they don't get cramped from typing/clicking. Then a comfy chair would be best. Sit back, click on the links, and start reading. The upgrade path is a good path* but there's more than one way to get to your destination, however, you won't make it there without a firm understanding of the parts required to do it.

Haha that sums it better than I did. We're not trying to be dicks but you have got to have the want to learn, not fishing for info.
If its help or advice you want, second to none your in the best forum for it. Just remember the internet is your friend, so put it to use. :thumbup:
 
A 16g turbo would compliment your current setup nicely if you upgrade the fuel system. Eventually you'll need a way to tune the car. I suggest DSMlink V3.
