Exhaust and some kind of intake to replace the stock air box.

With those mods you should be able to turn the boost up to 12 PSI, which is about the upper limit of the stock turbo. Somewhere around 250HP.

dont mean to hijack the thread but is it necessary to upgrade your injectors and fuel pump if you have a stock turbo? im a 10AE owner myself and so far i have it street ported, ported the waste gate, boost controller, and exhaust. using the stock airbox. i heard theres no point in adding an intake as the stock airbox is better.

Yes, yes and YES. Once you go over 10 PSI, you are beyond the limits of the stock fuel system.

The stock airbox is very restrictive. If you build a proper intake which isolates the filter from the engine bay heat, then the improvements will be dramatic. However right now it's your airbox and ported wastegate keeping you out of dangerous boost levels.
