GReddy fmic and a boost controller. If you saved a little bit more you could get a new profec B. Or you could get a used one or another type or even a manual one.

I would get the exhaust and a fcd that mod alone droped over a second off of my 1/4 mile time when they say 59hp at the wheels they weren't kidding. I went with the HKS SSBOV.

Racing beat turbo back exhaust + fcd and if you can afford it, a high flow fuel pump. You can always later invest in a s-afc but I wouldnt recommend doing any other mods before you do.

Hah, it may sound crazy but it's always nice to have the money for another engine when the first goes, cuz at that time, your HKS bov and rb exhaust and nice fatty turbo or haltech ain't going to do you much good!

Why are alot of people saying downpipe, fcd, and straightpipe? He has all that already, right Jacob? I say fmic, definitely. It has a big pricetag and who knows when you'll have the funds to get it again.

yeah, but i have the stock catback so its just kinda bottlenecking my downpipe and straightpipe. maybe i should just get a nice catback system and some other stuff? hell i dont know. i guess i just need to see some hard evidence of how much an intercooler can add to your performance.
