sorry, not much to offer. I built all of my stuff.


theres no "Kits" for this stuff, it all is custom whether you do it or have a shop do it.

The best I can recommend is go to an exhaust shop and have them make you a full 3in exhaust turbo back, that means a custom down pipe as well, the stock down pipe is total **** no matter what. For the FMIC, if you arnt planning on doing it yourself than find a performance shop and go have a talk with them, they will know how to set you up if there any good.

^/agree

I bet you could entice some s130 owners out there to show you pics of their setup and you can get an idea. I am going with a same side inlet and outlet for mine, should save on piping. There isn't an intercooler "kit" for the s130, you just gotta figure what will work.

On the question of which one to do first, I would say the exhaust. Have a shop do it. I would think you're looking at roughly a $300 job. Might be more though based on your location.
