Thanks for the info guys. So far, all she has in a downpipe (not sure brand) and an Agency Power Ti exhaust.

I ordered a tactrix cable and plan on tuning it once I get everything installed. I think the farthest I would take it is LICP, Front Mount and full exhaust...are there any other affordable parts that are worth doing?

Fuel pump is what is ultimately needed almost first and foremost and it's quick and easy to do. I'd actually do that first. You can up the boost during a tune without a FMIC, without a lower pipe, hell without any of that stuff BUT if you're going to get tuned do a fuel pump. At some point you'll need it, I forget the exact horsepower number but it starts flowing pretty badly at very low horsepower levels

Fuel pump, ic, licp. You could pick up a walbro 255 for 90 bucks. That's cheap insurance. I would also suggest getting her a wideband if you yourself are doing the tuning so you can watch those afrs.

first thing my tuner suggested before even starting to tune my car the very first time was a fuel pump. you will run out of fuel if using the stocker once the boost starts getting turned up.

Thanks for the info guys. I ordered the AMS intercooler and LICP. I will also get a fuel pump.

What sort of HP (wheel and crank) could you expect from the following mods:

Downpipe
Cat Back
IC
LICP
Fuel pump
Tune

Thanks again guys

Don't forget a high flowing filter, right? Like a K&N Style filter. HP will depend on how much boost, what octane you have, how conservative the tune is, etc.

Look in the tuning threads to see similar mods. But you're probably at 320-340hp, but that is a rough guess and it depends on how much boost you can run. If you can run E85, then the fun begins!
