do I have to upgrade?
I am planing on basicly replacing most of the piping in my engine with hoses that will help increase air flow, a HKS intercoller , intake system and upgrade the turbo. I already upgraded the fuel pump and spark plugs. so I was wondering if after I put all these parts in will I have to really upgrade the internal parts like cam's, piston's, crank ect. or will I end up braking some thing or will it be good and I can leave it alone?

I'm assuming when you say your "turbo" and your "intercooler" you actually mean turbos and intercoolers. I'm pointing this out b/c there have been single turbo upgrades done, and usually these are HUGE turbos and it takes extensive customization and fabrication to do so. If you are indeed wanting to go down that path, then you may want to consider upgraded internals since you'll probably be running a whole lot of boost. I would recommend going with the upgrade path.

I dont know about the pics but I will tell you how it looks. It is that metallic 350z orange. The only mods I have are spark plugs and a upgraded fuel pump. I am going to post pics of the bodykit below. my next upgrade will be a Greddy evo 2 exhaust. Also I have a Nismo shift ****. Mite get Nismo rims.
THIS IS THE BODY KIT.

The stock internals are good for up to 600-650 HP. You'd have to go with some pretty big turbos to get there. If you're upgrading the turbos and the IC's, then you'll likely want to upgrade your injectors too.

Actually, if the car is healthy, it can do a lot more than that. Before Wagz built his car, there was some guy who did 751rwhp on a stock long block (that includes stock cams), Wagz did 744.4rwhp/700rwtq with stock internals (swain coated for protection). There are also a few other cars in the 700+rwhp range with stock internals.
Obviously, the car needs to be in great mechanical condition to do that, but I'm just saying it's possible.
