Start removing and selling all that stuff and get yourself a turbo kit. You would have enough money probably to piece together a nice kit if you sold all that

Fo real dawg. That FRAM oil filter must put out 5 wheel horse powah to da wh33ls!
If I were you I would sell the DC Sport header and the cold-air intake w/ the bypass valve to help with the purchase of a turbo kit... you'll most likely still need a lot more dough for a kit. If you're asking what else you would need to get some more horsies from what you listed, WITHOUT mentioning the need for a turbo or spray, then the majority of people here will tell you to go for the turbo. If you're staying N/A, try port and polishing your intake manifold, rebuild the bitch for some "serious" N/A horsepower or just spray the hoe... honestly, I don't know how to make a N/A fast, so ask around.

You will also need to learn how the search function works on this site cause the same question you just asked has been asked 3,987,678,900 times before and responded to. i dont care what you do to your car and how many n/a mods you put on it in the end youll spend thousands and a fully stock 2gnt pushing 3 lbs of boost with no other mods will smoke you. Turbo is the way to go for power whether you want just a little more or a whole lot more Turbo is the best way to go.

1. dont unless you plan to go fast (turbo) later on 2. wait till you actually have a use for this 3. see #1 4. thats maintainance..not a mod 5. related to #3...seen #1 6. a good choice 7. dont bother with NA...youll lose too much of your precious low end grunt (like there is much anyways) due to an increase in EGV's 8. pulley...as in plural. yes, good mod 9. see #1 10. make your own, save your money. 11. good lil upgrade from OEM..but not really a power maker 12. er yeah, not a mod
so yeah, i think in your list your missing a turbo or spray..and some supporting mods with those and of course...a rebuild of some sort. as well as handling/suspension

Wouldnt the larger piping decrease exhaust gas velocity?
I kinda disagree with you guys here...This guy obviously hasnt researched anything and his mod list has ebay search engine written all over it, and you want him to turbo his car? He should go into the tuning pages and follow the guide there for modding his car while N/A then after he has some experience with that and maybe a few man hours under the hood he should then look into possibly turbocharging his car. What im getting at is you have to crawl before you can walk.

Few things...
Fram = crap getting through the filter. Spend the extra couple of dollars on a Puralator filter or K&N oil filter.
Now, if you are going to stay NA and want to keep the MP throttle body you should do the following: Take your manifold to a machine shop, or if you feel up to it and are very thorough in cleaning, gently taper the opening going from 60mm (tb side) to 57mm on the other side. This will give you the optimum opening for a NA application. 57mm is the optimum for NA. (if I am wrong and it's 54-56mm let me know). 60mm will decrease your lower end.
