Thanks for the welcome and recommendations! I do agree that it's more cost effective to forgo the headers and cams if I end up going turbo. I'm confident in the n/a build path, but still only have the basic knowledge regarding F/I (especially since I know a reliable turbo build will be around $3,000+). I love this platform so far, and can't wait to see what the car is capable of!

Future goals:
Short term to max out power of stock engine n/a ~ 240 hp
Long term turbocharge ~ 400 hp
Start tracking (SCCA time trials or Autocross)
Next possible mods:
-Race header (skunk2 or ktuned) w/cat delete
-Bigger injectors (injector dynamics 1050x or RDX 410, I'm at about 83% load on stock injects right now)
-Upgrade Fuel Pump (Walbro 255 or DW400)
-Inverted tie rod/ends (so many options! Buddy Club RCA vs PCI tie rod kit vs ktuned kit)
-Upgraded Cams (TSX 08'Cams or DC 3.2, honestly my tuner said not worth it unless I go with bigger cams that require upgraded springs/seats)
-Wheels/Tires (RPF1 17x8 or Heliogram 17×8 /Tires undecided right now but at least 225 width)
That's all I have so far, recommendations and tips are welcomed.
Thank you for your time!
