What kind of chip? Can I do the install myself? Just curious about the install, I like to do everything I can do myself, myself. What kind of gains am i likely to see with these mods? Already de-snorkled. Why a turbo instead of a supercharger?

you get much more power with a turbo charger. its more logical to get the exhasut headers and then do the chip, powerchip.com

I recommend buying:

1) a great set of new tires for about $1,000
2) about 300 gallons of gas for $1,500


drive....drive....drive!
