Re: grand am turbo, upgrades?
Now as far as the original question, do a full tuneup, if you are going to get more hp, do it safely. Start with new plugs, wires, and a new fuel filter. Make sure the car is running healthy...now it's time for more boost. Get a boost controller, do a search online, you can find a manual boost controller from Proboost shipped to your door for under $25. I don't know much about your car, so I don't know what the stock boost settings are, or how accurate your boost gauge(if you have one) is. Get an accurate boost gauge and find out exactly how high you can turn up the boost without getting knock(pre-detonation). You may need to upgrade your fuel injectors and fuel pump to handle a significant increase in boost...again, I'm not familiar with that car's setup. Be careful...too much boost = busted pistons. When you turn up the boost, start using premium gas to retard knock. Lastly, you may need an Air/Fuel controller if you upgrade your injectors and/or fuel pump to properly tune for the extra fuel. Hope this helps a bit. Also I should have mentioned this earlier, but breathability is a turbos friend...open up the intake and exhaust, make them more free-flowing to get more power out of that turbo.
