Turbo II First Upgrades??

I just bought my first RX and it's an 88 turbo II. What are some suggestions for my first performance upgrades? Good tires have already been ordered.

A full tune up. Seriously.

Then a boost gauge and EGT gauge.
Then a DP.

More fuel--- bigger injectors, stand alone maybe (Haltech). This all depending on your budget.

With no increase in airflow the car is going to fall flat on its face unless it has a way to control the added fuel and a haltech is overkill unless you're running above and beyond 300RWHP or want the tuneability of the a stand alone.

Gauges, Intake, Fuel pump, Downpipe

that should be a good start
