Depends on your anticipated boost levels..

I'm thinking clutch.

To keep the car in a straight line I would say look into some decent trailing arms..

Definitely clutch. My friend has a Kenne Bell on his '05 and has bad clutch slippage. Stock clutch isn't worth a whole lot more than stock power levels.

After that I concur that beefing up the rear suspension is the way to go, and get some wheels and sticky tires to help turn all the extra power into extra forward motion.

The first thing that comes to mind that really compliments a turbo?







Another turbo.

Did you factor in the RAC (random added cost) into your project. I find that whatever I plan my RAC ends up being 70-100% of the original cost.
