Bolt ons.. What Next??

Okay so I am going to AMS to get my tune this month and here is what I am working with..


Turbo XS Turboback exhaust
3" Downpipe
ETS FMIC
ETS IC cold pipe
ETS IC hot pipe
Exedy Twin Disk HD
AMS Intake
Holloman manual boost controller (soon to be a 3port Grimmspeed)


What else can I get for some significant gains on a stock turbo?

Will a fuel pump and injectors really give me anything noticeable without an aftermarket turbo?


I've heard mixed reviews about that and AMS said it wouldn't really do much without a bigger turbo

I don't believe you. AMS would not say that.
E85 with additional timing will add tons of TQ even on the stock turbo.

No about the injectors and pump.. I know e85 gives gains but it's not practical for me so I didn't want to go that route

Before getting it tuned, I would install a higher flowing pump.
