I'm getting ready to buy a header, cold air intake system, carbon fiberhood and new spark plugs and wires. If anyone has any recommendations on which brand and where I should get them please let me know.
Thinking about buying
1.) Cold Air Intake- AEM polished intake system from flyryde.com $199.99
EVO RD cold air intake from import shark $170.00
2.) Carbon fiber hood- Carbon Fiber Evo Hood from flyryde.com $579.99
EVO IV from evofusion.com
3.) Header- OBX 4-2-1 Header from importshark.com $180.00
Anyother suggestions would be helpful

flyryde is awesome. evofusion, ok i guess...but they had problems in the past.
aem intake is the best you can get, mayeb not for the price though. ebay ones are much cheaper and work nearly as good.
evo hood from fr.com is awesome, but rain will get into your bay and probably cause rust. evoIV from ef.com i really dont know about.
obx header you can get for cheap on ebay, or really cheap by searching through classifieds on other, higher traffic forums. i would also consider this one...here (http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=11698&hl=)

Do the turbo chips really work. I went to turbonator.com but not really sure if it was a good idea to buy or not. Whats your guy's input on that.

flyryde.com should have everything youre looking for...
definitely go in that direction...
aem expensive..
evofusion.. errr so so quality/ customer service...
honestly go with flyryde, and if you cant find something you want, chris (owner of flyryde) will do what he can to get it for you... tell him nisco recomended you...

dont even look at any of those turbonator/intake chip mods, they are trash.

Last thought I found on flyryde's website a turbokit for $300 is that something I should get or do you have to upgrade other stuff under the hood. Not sure about the whole turbo stuff but appreciate the advice.

right now he is developing a turbo kit. that 300 is just to get the ball rolling, and will be subtracted from your final cost for the kit after it has been designed. so you are looking at about 3k added onto that price.
