Hi my name is steve, and Im an addict. (where to get my next fix?)

Yes guys I admit it, Im a modd addict. I have only had my car for about 2 1/2 months and my mods are:
HKS 264 cams,Helix 3" DP, Helix 3" TP, HKS carbon/ti cat back,hks drop in,works p2 flash,walbro255 pump, swift springs, cusco v2 brace, rear strut bar, B&M shifter, and some other exterior mods, and I will have a LICP, and act clutch within the next couple weeks.
I am trying to prep everything for a fp green in a couple months but Im not sure what to do next? Maybe a bigger FMIC or maybe bigger cams? I would like to get as little lag as possible and was thinking that a catback without a resonator and that didnt tapper down like the hks system might help but Im not sure if it would even be worth my time????? My budget is around 700-800 for the next purchase.

It's a turbo that finally made it's way to the evo market. It only increases lag by a small amount but you can get big gains from it.

However, I would suggest a 10.5 exhaust side and alky

yeah I have been considering meth since I can get it for a fairly decent price about two miles from my house. Im not going to waist my time on a 10.5 hotside since the fpgreen isnt to far off.

Yeah you may as well get a ebay 02 housing and a PORTED 10.5 hotside. Add alky and a tune, wala, 80WHP and torque.

I got quoted about 575-600 for a snow kit with failsafe, low warning light,upgraded solenoid, and extended feed line for trunk mount. How much would a ported hotside cost me?

you should do every possible bolt-on before you think about upgrading your turbo...

and buying a separate 10.5 hotside would be pointless considering a new FP green COMES with a 10.5 hotside...unless you're doing a core conversion, then you could just order the hotside from them.

Yes, a fmic, cams, exhaust, ic piping (esp lower), catless, yadda yadda should be a given before you touch the turbo.

dont do the hotside since your going w/ the fp green...it comes w/ one

Id say:
1. o2 housing
2. fmic
3. alky/meth kit
4. bov/d that can handle the high psi levels youll be running w/ the alky/meth

these are just recommendations though
