Grafal, Nice car! = ) well there's so much you can do to a car, its endless. But IMO I'd start with an Intake. Several manufacturers make intakes for the Celica i.e. Injen, AEM, Ractive, etc. Then Headers. DC Sports makes a wide variety of headers. Then Exhaust, preferably 2.25'' straight through with your choice of muffler. I wouldn't go any higher to 3'' cause you'll lose back pressure. if you have slap a turbo in it, then go with 3'' piping. With those 3 upgrades ur looking at around 10-20 HP increase.

After all those, you can get Air/Fuel Management systems, engine internals and TURBO's!

Good luck with your car and when you get it all done, post some pics!

i would get :
- complete performance exhaust system and even a manifold.
- Induction kit
- Performance camshaft, the thing it does, is that it opens the vales a bit earlier, and closes them a bit later, making the valves stay open for alonger time, so that the engine gets more fuel, and therefore more power
- replace the factory ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or chip, with an aftermarket perfomance chip. Ordinary gasoline engines usually get aorund 10-15% more power, in addition to more torque and driveability.

All these ideas sound really good. I am probably gonna get an InGen cold air intake system with a K&N high flow cone first off. Then what I was thinking to do is get a new manifold with two ports for exhaust for dual exhaust then redo the entire exhaust system from manifold. After that I think i will do body work, probably a nice VeilSide body kit and paint job will do the trick.
