Help me out guys

I know this is a message for the car talk board, but that board is so big seems that I wouldnt get an answer, I am looking to go from my 850 T5 to a CL-S, but there are other cars with much more aftermarket support, after looking around all day, these are the parts I want in my CL-S, what do you guys think.

Fuel Pressure Regulator
NOS Cheater System
Comptech Headers
Comptech Spring
Comptech Exhaust
Comptech Sway Bars
Comptech Hi-Flo Filters
AEM CAI
18 Inch Enkei RS6 Wheels
Michelin Pro Sport 225/45ZR18 91Y Tires
and a G-tech to messure performance

This totals up to about 4,500 dollars, how fast and good looking will this stuff make my car.

The exhaust won't do much for the car...only for appearance sakes...it only adds about 2-5hp. The hi-flo filter would not work if you have the CAI i believe, so I would just go with the cai. Everything else looks fine, how big of a shot are you going with on NOS? Without the nos, you are looking at I think around 40hp gain. The NOS would give you another boost from that...

Well..after going through so much hassle with my turbo, I am not sure anymore if I want to convert a non-turbo car to a turbocharged for my next car.

Funny Ive rarely had trouble with my T5, in fact nothing but a simple turning the car of and on again was ever needed, care to elaborate?

Hot850T5: Well, if you have not had any problem with your engine due to turbo upgrade, then that simply means you have not done too much stress to bend a rod. IPD stuff will not get you to that realm just yet.
