cams and cam gears will yield good gains for your setup.....with some tuning of course. The gains from a bigger IC on a stock turbo is minimal in my opinion...but definitely should be in consideration as you start getting a bigger turbo.

BRAKES..

new rotors and pads.

Everyone is always about making stuff go really fast, but you need to also consider you have to stop it.

stock brake was not enough even for stock power for me. simple upgrade such as performance brake pad and steel brake line give me confidence to go faster.

Hey,

I have a similar situation.

My plan is as follows. Get new brake pads, ss lines, change the fluid. I don't think I'm going to change the rotors at this point.

Upgrade the clutch to ACT with machined stock flywheel.

Now get to the next level of perf mods with cams, cam gears, and a flash. I already have an upgraded fuel pump, but if necessary I could do the injectors as well and get it all dialed in with the flash.

I think I'll be more than happy with that, but the next step would be a turbo upgrade, along with larger intercooler and all that, but tha's a distant dream at this point, heh.

Take care,

FB
