You could work on you handling and suspension. Maybe get some strut bars, coilovers whatever you want.

Umm, brakes? Suspension and brakes would be great, but if you mean performance stuff...

You could get a short ram for now and modify it to fit your turbo when it comes. Actually you could mod a CAI too if you want to spend that money. 2.5" exhaust is gonna be the best thing you can do that will work before and after.

Oh, intake manifold and throttle body, turbo grind cam, valvetrain upgrade, 255 fuel pump...

What kind of stuff did you mean?

A header is the only thing you would have to remove by going turbo.

All of the other stuff I mentioned are things to consider.

Like I said, exhaust would be the best thing for both N/A and turbo. The CAI would be fine for now, but when you go turbo you will have to modify it depending on how you plumb your intercooler.
