Whats the next step?

Alright well tomorrow is my e85 tune day so its time to start planning what is my next step. After tomorrow i will have the following installed; AMS; Intercooler, Piping, Intake, TBE w/TestPipe, Tial QR BOV, Grimspeed MBC, Cobb AP, 1300cc DW's, Blaqops kit w/ Aero 340, Wideband, AFR gauge, CORNFED. I am wondering what my next step is, not including clutch. I am trying to hold off till winter to do the clutch so hopefully itll hold off!

Depends on what you want.
I would do the little mods, maybe better springs, short throw shifter with a weighted knob, maybe new wheels, coilovers, ect.

Power departments, I am in the same boat as your about to be, next for me is a FP red, cams retainers and valve springs.

If you're going from stock to this, I think you're going to be really happy for a while.

Suspension/tires are a big upgrade next, far more important than more power IMO.

you next step i would say, depends on the intended use for car.
if its dd not much track use your pretty much set, maybe wheel /suspension like noted above.

From the looks of it ur on a stock turbo so u should be fine with ur stock clutch. I ran my stock clutch with my green for the past 5 months and I'm only swapping now cause I added more power. As far as next mod springs get my vote. They are cheap and will really add to the look and feel of the car. Also a short shifter is another cheap mod that will really add to the feel of the car.

Do some suspension work, coilovers or springs.

I am currently switching over to a EBC now and I plan to save for some BC Racing coilovers next! Just got XXR 527's got them powdercoated white wrapped on Nitto NT05s!

Definitely get coils. Improves the handling of the car in ways you cannot fathom. Curves I usually wouldn't do over 40mph on.. I have no problem hitting them at 60mph+ now
