to do it right, a few thousand. and with the other upgrades that you should do (but many don't) you're looking at more. If you're just looking for small power upgrades do basic boltons (header, downpipe, exhaust)

basic mods on a 2.4 automatic are not going to do anything. You will barely feel a difference with full bolt ons. I would figure out what your goals are, how much power you want to add, what kind of track times you want, and then start figuring out what to do. will save you time and money in the long run.

You already have an intake so next would be the full exhaust (header,downpipe, and cat-back) that should give you some more power.

Bolt Ons and Tune. If you want to go further than consider Forced Induction

So, does this kit come with everything needed? I have a 2.4 ss 5 speed and want to turbo it. What would I need to go with this kit besides a tune and exhaust? What kind of power gains did your freind see? Thanks.
