What Mods, Tuning? HELP :)
Hey,
I was originally planning on getting a stand alone, but due to cost, tuning experience needed, emissions concerns, etc. I am reconsidering my mod path. If you could give me some advice I would really appreciate it.
My car already has an mbc and an intake. I have bought, but have yet to install, a Buschur 3" turboback (with test pipe), Walbro fuel pump, Forge DV, Greddy oil catch can, and a Defi BF series red boost gauge. I should also have a Lancer Shop short shifter kit arriving shortly. I know some of that isn't really performance-related, but I'm excited so I wanted to list everything
My goals for the car are mid to high 12's in the 1/4 mile with these mods. I would like to eventually get into the low ot mid 11's with bigger FMIC, turbo upgrade, injectors, etc.
I plan on buying a Greddy E-Manage, HKS cams, and some cam gears.
So, here are my questions:
I think that's about it. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading, I could really use some help here

So, here are my questions:
- Will this get me to my 1/4 mile time goals? What kind of power would you expect me to make?
- How much should installation and tuning of the gears, cams, and E-Manage be and who can do it in the North East? I can do the rest myself.
- Would you go another route? I wouldn't need a ECU flash with this right? I have to keep expenses right around $2000.
- What do I need to do to pass emissions (OBD-II test) with this set up? Any special considerations?
- What other advice can you offer me?
I think that's about it. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading, I could really use some help here

go to www.buschurracing.com there you will find 1/4 mile time with related mods.
Thanks bro 
It looks like they got into the high high 12's with similar mods. But they used the SAFC-II, unless I missed something. How much better do you think the E-Manage would do? I need some more specific guidance before I can justify spending this much cash.

I do not know I have never used a E-Manage But I have had flashes and a SafcII. I have heard good things about it. I am realy happy with the AEM ems. How do you like the Forge DV?
Haven't installed it yet. I'm not getting back home until Christmas so that's when I'm planning on throwing all this stuff on. I hope someone can chime in with their experience. I really have no idea how to procede.
