This spring I plan on adding a turbo kit from F-Max and right now I am looking at a suspsension change. If money allows I plan on change other equipment the only thing is I dont want to buy something I wont need when I add turbo, any suggestions what I should change? I am pretty new at this whole sport.

Your turbo manifold will replace your exhaust manifold, so don't get any headers. Look at exhaust piping of 2 and 1/2 inches and above. Everything else you're pretty much OK with (cat-back, ignition, clutch &amp; flywheel, suspension...). I'm not entirely sure if an underdrive pulley would be a good idea to use with a turbo kit. But I would definitely say &quot;no&quot; to one myself. Also, remember not to get any v-tec stickers or any sir stickers, as well as tenzo-r and anything-r. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Not even GT-R.

How many psis do you plan to run? What year is your 240?

i need turbo! i miss turbo timers, boost gauges, boost controllers, blow off valves. my 240 WILL have all these things in the future. oh yeah, i would go w/ 3 in. piping for the exhaust, i had 2.5 on my first car n it didn't feel &quot;exactly&quot; right, but that's cuz i got it used off a friend so it was better to pay $30 than $500.

Yeah, I say go with 3&quot; piping...2.5&quot; is for N/A applications. &nbsp;And don't worry about an intake/CAI system until after you get the kit in...it will have to be made custom if you want to extend down behind the bumper.
