Looks like you are doing ok. But I would skip getting a intercooler.

Dont forget that you will need a boost gauge if you are going to start playing with the boost

 

Definitely.. thanks for the advice..

since this thread is about choosing mods. anybody have recommendations on bovs? I'm thinking about the aps twin vent bov and the go fast bits deceptor pro.

 

Stock metal or maybe something recirculating=] if your useing the stock MAF.
learn from others mistakes....
no VTA's

 

same as above, meaning electronic, or a forge mbc.

 

messed up the quote, FTL

 

Forge recirculating Diverter valve

 

i would say get a fuel pump,turboback,hallman mbc,licp and custom tune,dont get an intercooler yet you dont need it,stock is good up to 400 whp at least

 

Along with what everyone else is saying I'd suggest also getting a wideband and an EGT sensor. It will make tuning much easier and it also helps you keep an eye on the vitals of the car when you go racing at the track.

 

seems like everyone is leaning towards an MBC as oppose to an electronic one.. any reasons? or just preference?

i love my HKS EVC VI, pretty easy to work with

 

greddy profec B is a damn joke, ive seen 2 blown up dsm's from it getting stuck open and boosting atmosphere pressure............. get the hallman with the inside cable

 

just follow buschur racings upgrade sequence. thats what i am tryin to do

 

K & N drop-in
eBay TBE w/test pipe
MBC (w/boost gauge, a must)
Dynoflash mail-in tune
Walbro fuel pump

I'm happy with all these power mods, best bang for the buck I could find, no labor costs. The exhaust is a bit too loud, but I'm planning on an HFC soon. Should quiet it down I hope. I also plan on an LICP and an O2 housing before long.

The next round of mods after that will be more expensive, so it'll be a while.

My favorite non-power mod: Buscher front motor mount. Cabin's a bit more rattly, but the smooth shifting and fewer clunky sounds make it well worth having.

 

i think nothign can beat the spool up speed of a mbc, but a electric has a more smooth ramp to the set psi. from personal experiance and from what ive seen.
