JWT ecu, exhaust, and HKS super mega flow intake. To start. Your looking at about $1800 in upgrades. Maybe less depending on your choice of exhaust. Good Luck!

lolz, 16 and already getting a tt, my suggestion would be not to do any mods on it untill you get used to the power, cause you aparently havent been driving that long being only 16, and if you go out in the rain with a rear wheel drive car with a lot of horse power your asking for trouble, but on the other hand, if you are used to driving rear wheel cars with lots of power, than mod the crap out of it!!!!

I gotta agree with gradyman. first you should get rims bodywork system if your into that stuff. your talking about alot of power and not to bust on you maybe too much for a newbie driver ease into and and you'll be ready for anything none of us want to see a new driver to get hurt or a Z to be ruined. as for it lasting it should be fine.

Also get a good turbo timer i think all cars with turbos should have one just for the safety of it. My grandmas got one on her volvo even.

Good call acesnyper! A turbo timer is a must! Maybe even a couple of gauges. Not only do they help you to watch what your engine is doing more closley, they also look badass! Go with maybe an EGT & Boost gauge. The stock boost gauge is not very accurate.

My 2 cents
Get suspension and brakes upgrades first...if you can along the way...get the BPU mods...like intake, downpipes, exhaust, ECU, injectors...so you will be around 400HP...but w/brake upgrades you WONT kill yourself hopefully...and w/suspension your car will be a masterful tool...now all that is left is you...
