I am thinking of ditching the spoiler, doing carbon trunk/hood and wrapping the roof. Also ready for a turbo upgrade

Can anyone recommend a descent upgrade for a turbo for my set-up? I dont have 2k layin around really make some power but I want to do something some-what affordable to get me over the 400whp mark. Should i just run a IX turbo and do a exhaust manifold? I have 850 injectors sitting here with a aem fuel rail also. I figured with the ix turbo, aftermarket o2 housing, aftermarket exhaust mani and 850 injectors that should get me there. What do you guys think?

First off nice ride!! BBY is definitely the best color EVEEEERRR As far as mods go, you might have to run E85 to get over 400 on the IX turbo. But even without E85 you should get close.
