About 180 Im no pro on upgrading cars but from what I do know I think that the best way to gain more power aside from small HP jumps is a new engine but Id have to do a ton of research

nah, you can make power without a new motor.
a simple rebuild will suffice.. up the boost. turbo timers, methanol injection.
tons of stuff to do. but if you really are going to go the route of making all wheel drive burnouts i suggest making everything tip top first. brakes steering etc. then go for the power.
going fast doesnt mean shit if you cant stop.

True The only reason I want a new engine If Im going to do this is so that I dont have to stress my current engine to put out that much power , but ill be doing all the non engine stuff first and will prolly be satisfied by that

yeah, if you are hellbent on a new motor.. get the block, get the internals all the new aftermarket pipping for the turbo and slowly build while doing the suspension/brake/steering upgrades on your already running motor.
that way your not down a vehicle but for the weekend when you stab the new motor in.
also, think about what your goals are and if you are going to need a new trans or not.

Yeah I plan to do suspension before a new motor , I actually want some shocks and struts that raise my car instead of lower it and ones that are tuned for off road kinda

thats the whole point of having fast cars man.
gotta build a relationship with them.. which means... building/running/breaking/fixing them.
cause if you do anything to a new car which is exactly want you want and you go out and mod it, guess what, that warranty that you are paying for is one foot out the door.
