Current mods on a 87 Turbo II,What my next step??

I have a greddy blow off valve,turbo timer,boost control,custom intake,Kevlar race clutch. Ive already put the money down a hks down pipe,HKS Cat back Exhaust,an UPGRADE to a BIGGER Turbo (THIS IS HAPPENING IN ONE WEEK!!),a new fuel pump,new Fuel cut controller,and a Crank Pulley. What are some more mods that I need to or can do??Who makes chips,Throttle Boddies,Intake manifolds,etc... Also, What kind of HP can I expect from this (I know I left no turbo specifics,but just a ball park figure),what kind of 1/4 mile.What should be the next upgrade.I want this car to be a sleeper *** kicker.it only has 80k miles on it. Thanks for helping me out

FUEL!! you will definatley need more than just a pump. you will need bigger injectors as well. if you are going with a bigger turbo 720cc secondary injectors are a minimum. you might need to go bigger on promaries too, but im not sure. depends on the turbo. also you will need a fuel controler. the Apex super-AFC is the best thing for the job. itll run you about 350 bucks or so. also you will need some aftermarke gauges as well. boost gauge and an EGT gauge are a must. water temp couldnt hurt. autometer makes decent gauges for cheap, but if you want quality go with greddy or HKS. id go with Greddy because their boost gauge actually reads in psi. if you plan on running anything more than 12 psi, get an upgraded intercooler. a good kit is the Greddy core. good size and reasonably priced and it flows well. thats all i can think of right now, im sure someone else will think of more.

suspension and tires, you can have all the power in the world, but if you can't get it to the ground...

Getting some better tires is good advice, the factory ones aren't designed for that kind of power.

Haltech
Injectors (I am running 720cc/min primaries, 1600 cc/min secondaries)
fuel pressure regulator
new fuel lines (aeroquip, or similar)
gauges (EGT, boost, temp, fuel pressure)
lightened flywheel
wider wheels/tires
firmer suspension
weight reduction (no p/s, no A/C, no air pump, remove sound deadening materials, etc)
upgraded radiator (summit racing sells a good one for $200, made by HOWE 19x22x3 core)
FMIC (expensive, and not necesary, I am still using top mount, and am running 15+psi)
cold air intake (possibly vent more air from in front of the radiator (colder) towards the filter element)
there are more, but this list alone will cost ~$4000
