Default Build Critique?

I’m not sure whether this would be good but I tried to find a sweet spot. Is this reasonable or should I just settle for a NA build. Just let me know what you guys think and whether I’m missing some crucial parts or if there are better deals out there, but this all goes for around a total of 10k so I’m a little skeptical of whether these are enough or not. If I do settle for a NA build I already have the parts picked out but since I do wanna explore more options for boosted, I did get rid of some of the parts I was gonna do for the NA build. Not sure yet guys, I still have a few months before I actually get the parts. What do you guys think?

Thanks! -newbie

What year is the car and what is the goal?
Problems I can see with top:
1. Injectors aren't needed
2. I favor the Kinetix Velocity over stock with spacer
3. The Z1 intake isn't optimal, I'd go custom
Problems with bottom:
1. No return system
2. No injectors
3. No intercooler?
4. No oil cooler?

Go with the Kinetix Plenum. For intake I'd go Takeda.

Your previous thread stated you were going turbo.
I explained the godspeed/rev9/kanji kit and how to install.
You said it was too much work, yet make another thread about it

Driver’s school and support mods first.

Can’t use horsepower without knowing how.

And there was my annual driving school rant.

Very short cuz no one ever does it, being all hung up on Instagram “recommended” hardware over soft/firmware.😆

The building process, researching online, and then finally putting it together is the best part. Once it's complete it's boring. Enjoy the journey!

While I agree that there's fun in the research and build, personally prefer deftly executing a perfectly innate 4-3 heel/toe downshift that I didn't even remember I knew how to do; and the car beneath me just doing what it was commanded to do without a single fuss nor muss. All leaving me exhilarated! Nothing boring about that!

Yeah, had a moment like that the other day in the 33 that was my internal answer on whether or not to sell my barely-driven car. Laff......
