I am going to put down what I need and if you can provide contact info,prices, pros and cons, and what ever else you think will help. Thanks for the help in advance, and no I will not get a different car, I own this one:)

and any thing else you all can come up with.Yes I *have done a search and read for the past few weeks, and have a million notes, but I figure I will just post and see what help I get. Remember this is the 2.0l 4cyl DOHC w/ VCT 1999.5 Tour So I dont get answers for parts that will not fit a 4cyl. Thanks again.-Sunny

go the mods section and links section on the front page, it should help you out...that list is way to long for us!

If you go turbo you won't need the superchip, fuel management computer, fuel pump, or header. The kit will cover all of these. If you're doing front and rear sway bars it's also a good time to get new endlinks, PeformanceFords sells rears and The SVT front endlinks are a good upgrade for the front.

thanks OChI, I didn't know that, I still have alot to learn, Do you know if Terry is going to include all of this in the turbo..Terry if you read this please answer. I know this is not the forum for it, but still.Please help. and to everyone else keep the info coming-Sunnny

Also, I don't know which kit you are thinking of running, but If you are going to run the VCN-2000 with a turbo, you are going to need some serious internal engine work. Some of the turbo kits offered by THM will include uprated internal bits and pieces, but I don't know if they would be up to with standing "doulbe duty" in a turbo'd/continous feed nitrous engine. The VCN-2000 is a system that feeds your engine small amounts of nitrous throughout you rev band. You would be better off getting a ZEX kit since it would only activate at WOT and you wouldn't use it as much.

OCHI, who are some suppliers of the internals? Are there any? and what kind of stuff are we talking about.-Sunny

I would think terry haines could get you or has some internals for a build up....
PM him I am sure he can tell you what he could get for you.
