ok uhh id start with an intake and catback to start let your engine breath before turboing maybe nice header. it depends on how much you know about car work putting on a turbo is extensive work so if this car is a daily commuter i would rethink because you car could be out of commision for a couple of days as you install the turbo. some of the other guys here could probably give you additional advise

Don't go jumping into I/H/E if you plan to boost. That intercooler kit is crazy expensive and so is the turbo kit. You should try piecing together your own kit. Before you do anything, research, research, research. We have a few DIYs on building your own turbo kits and also, check out the Forced Induction section for a lot of good info on how turbos work and such.
