What would you do?
Ok guys just thought I would throw this out to you and get your opinion. I am still in the learning phase 
Last week I installed my Walbro Fuel Pump. So as of right now I have a Rebuilt Steet Ported Motor with 10k miles, HKS Bov, 17 inch Rims, Street/Strip Clutch, Cone Filter, Stock Turbo and Stock Intercooler.
This week I will be completing the following mods:
Fluidyne Radiator
RB Down Pipe
HKS cat Back exhaust
HKS Test pipe
Cold Air Box
At this point I am going to be worried about Fuel and Boost. So far my intentions now are to get a Boost Guage, A/F Guage, Temp Guage, FCD, 720 secondaries and a Super AFC.
I am not very knowledgeable so a Haltech is pretty much not a choice. From the sounds of it I will pay $1200 for a Haltech and $1000+ for tuning and install. I have money...but am not prepared to shell out 2k+ right now. Plus my tranny is going bad so I will have to shell out for a rebuild or replacement.
So after reading what my mods will be at the end of the weekend what would you do. Like I said I am still learning everything and trying to be hands on as much as possible. Does a Super-AFC sound good?
Also (sorry I am just full of questions) is it worth the extra $200+ for a electronic boost controller over a manual?
Oh and I just want to say thanks to the people that run www.fc3s.org, www.fc3s-pro.com, www.1300cc.com
and of course www.rx7club.com without you guys I would be so lost!

sounds like you got everything in order. one suggestion though is instead of the a/f gauge go with an EGT. from what i understand theyre more accurate to tune with.
ps-the haltech(or any stand alone) is worth the extra time and money. your car runs alot better and you have WAY more flexibility in tuning it.
