so are you saying that you don't want it to take down your gas mileage???
Also are you looking for a visual or performance upgrade???

I would probably say a lightweight flywheel/upgraded clutch combo.
Now if you dont mind spending a grand, a carbon fiber driveshaft is an awesome upgrade to AWD cars.
If you want to stick with something simple, go with a 3SX lightweight pulley.
If you want something a little more complicated, you can always go with a slight turbo upgrade such as 13G's or 13T's in which you can get the turbos for probably under a grand, slightly used.

I wouldn't mind a little loss in milage, but nothing drastic. and I'm mainly going for performance unpgrades right now though.

I was already planning on a clutch, and maybe 13g's. For 13g's would I need to do anything fuel related??

Yeah, I would say clutch next. Then start saving for fuel/turbos. Personally, I'd go with DR500s instead of 13Gs...slightly bigger, and I think cheaper...but check that, I might be wrong.
Anyway, fuel related. You will probably want the Walboro pump, and you may want to hotwire it...although it may even be possible to get away with simply hotwiring the stock pump....I'd get the Walboro, even hotwired, I don't think it will outrun the fuel pressure regulator...so why not?.
Injectors...you would need 450cc probably. You can get them used off a DSM. Then just have them cleaned up/flow tested.
And then a fuel controller. Probably SAFC/SAFC II
Lastly, get a datalogger if you have an OBDI or hybrid. If not, a wideband o2 would be a good idea. As you want some idea of knock or actual A/F ratios.

but get an upgraded clutch before you upgrade turbos, or you may find your clutch slipping quite a bit

Yeah, I'll have a clutch pretty soon..... I was thinking about Spec stage II or rps street max, anyone have any experience with them??
