Thank you, budget wise, I do not know, I have about $6k saved up for my Stillen Supercharger which cost about $8k, so I am splitting what I am putting that for extra mods, I am thinking of doing the GTR start button mod, and the GTR lenses, that seems like a good idea I will probably do that.

Then performance, first thing I want to do is install my Oil Cooling and then intake.

Thank you for the help!

Why do an intake if you're putting a SC on later? Also, take a look at this for more info on how to make your SC kit safe, and not a ticking time bomb: Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Plan on another couple thousand for supporting mods with any forced induction kit you go with. Also, if you're not going to do the air-to-air kit for the Stillen SC, the Boosted Performance single turbo kit is a better decision.

Also budget for a transmission and LSD upgrade.

Doesn't the Stillen SC come with its own intake?

As to the mods, it depends what you want to do with the car. Whatever it is I try to come up with a master plan for my end goal, and make sure each upgrade I do along the way is a part of that.

And that way you are throwing money away such as buying an intake when you will be getting one when you go SC. The stock lens aren't that bad anyways. In your case I'd maybe throw a set of K&N drop-ins into the stock boxes and call it good until you get your SC.

Don't waste money on things that don't fit into the final plan.

You mentioned GTR start button and map lens. You should start with those then.
