If you want to go turbo in the future- forget about the intake & PCM. Just get a HV3, voltage booster, Alt-rewires, fuel pump thing too, PRJ ignition wires, and get some royal purple in the car. Save up for the turbo. I don't know about what rockers you should get, I've been thinking of getting some myself - but I don't know if which rockers I should get that would go great with the turbo too.

These will net you some nice gains and still stay NA. Intake, exhaust, ER rockers, HV3, PLOG, DP, ubend delete, PCM and a high velocity throttle body. You can always cam the car. If you want to supercharge it, search for the top swap. Its very common for those with the L36.

If you are going to turbo or supercharge it eventually. Start off with...

Stainless Plog
3" Downpipe
HV3
1.9 Rockers
180 Tstat
Al 605's/NGK TR55's gapped at .58
PRJ or ZZP wires(stock are just fine too)

A tune from zzp will really wake your car up, if you have someone around you with a tuner, they can do a lot more though.

Here is some info on the rockers and the HV3. The HV3 replaces the stock runners on the upper intake manifold.

Ok so here are the upgrades i have planned for over the next year:
Custom Engine Cover
Catback
ZZP Downpipe
Custom Cold Air Intake
Possibly: HV3

Tell me what you think about that. There will be more in the future just these because i'm kinda lacking
in the mula department.

dont let the hv3 scare you. to my understanding you take off the upper intake manifold, replace the stock one with the hv3 and put it back together. you can change out the lower intake gaskets at this time too, which commonly go bad. its not nearly as hard as it looks or sound, just take your time and remember what bolts go where.
