id have to say some sort of a flash, since you already have a mbc id probably suggest a dynoflash or x-flash, but if you want more expandability down the road then i would go with the xede from vishnu. good power increase for the money no matter which one you go with.

*don't worry about the budget*

oh come on there's always a budget. if not go straight to an AEM EMS, a bigger FMIC, a GT35 turbokit and a beefy clutch of your choice.

yeah there's gotta be a budget otherwise you would be driving another AWD car called Porsche 911 Turbo!

Cams, cam gears, groundong kit, high-flow cat or cat delete, bigger intercooler, bigger injectors, wlbro 255 pump, then ECU Flash. Then add NOS and a bigger turbo, you will need another clutch though. You will start slipping well before the bolt-ons are done!
