Boost gauge. Without a doubt, this should be everyone's first mod.

@TRUST RX7

Definitely Downpipe and hose job (coolant). The vacuum ones will follow the rule "Never fix a running thing", although as important as the coolant ones...

cheers

FIRST mods = DP and guage/pod. No question. Just wait until you pull that POS 50-lb thermal reactor out from under the car and hear the turbos sing with a DP.

First mods (or anything changed from stock) for me were:

Bonez downpipe & hi-flo cat along with the GReddy Power Extreme catback.

I had the "rusted, falling apart, stock catback" syndrome and decided to just do a full exhaust upgrade all at once.

No boost controller? Living on the over 10psi-spike-edge there, didn't you Mahjik?
