I would say i have spent around 1700 for all of my mods and the most expensive was the stupid TBE freaking A'pexi...anyway i say u could get all the stuff i listed for 1200 which is a good power to cost ratio...i say go for it.

I know I will get Turbo back for sure. Its just a amtter of what to buy with the left over cash.

Would the Injen EVO Intake W/Up IC Pipe be something I shold look at?

Also who does reflashes, and how much? I don't plan on doing any big upgrades. I just want to stick to bolt on things

like i said intake is a waste with out a tune so is UICP. Go with LICP... if you just going to do bolt ons just keep the stock maf and get like a drop in. Dynoflash ($200)is what i am going to go with but u can look at TT and some of the others

this HAS been covered a billion TIMES. For that amount of money a tbe(ranges from 450-to 1200), Flash ( Dynoflash- around $200), MBC ( set teh boost to 20 psi and not let it drop $100), and 10.5 hotside( dont kno the price). LICP and UICP are not needed. Cams would be the best bet ( but they will run u more $550+)

I figure the TBE should help alot. I will look at a reflash and LICP. I also think I might get a Turbo timer or are these a waste?

Fusion, here's your answer for $1280 and the best combination of mods you can get, in my opinion:

WarrTalon Stage 2

you can buy my used hayward & scott exhaust (full turboback with cat delete pipe) for $700 and use the $500 for other goodies.

the H&S exhaust is completely modular and can be fitted with the stock exhaust pieces if you want (why you would want to I don't know )

PM if interested...

jw why you have a tt in your stage 1 when they are really not needed for our cars on stock turbo, everything else looks like a great package
