So I think I've done most of the basic upgrades on my car now.. grounding kit, downpipe, catback, SAFCII, boost control.

I'm wondering where to go next? My goals are probably to go as far as I can on the stock turbo without nitrous. is 400-450hp doable?

I'm thinking about getting a new IC (looking at the AMS one) and maybe IC piping. Does anyone know what kind of gains I'll be seeing with hard IC piping?

Some other things I'm looking at are HKS cams, and maybe an intake (waiting for a stockbox replacement or CAI, I don't like the cone filters). Maybe a clutch down the line if I start making enough power.

Any suggestions??

 

I would say - Intake just to open up a lil, then the intercooler and the hard piping, then get it professionally dyno tuned and then you'll be due for a new clutch... Actually do the cams and cam gears before the final tune... And get a stronger fuel pump... Bam - done... For now...

 

I would say forget the IC for now and do some type of ecu upgrade and a clutch.
