Turbos- Hitachi HT-12s. Not sure of exact 'size' you mean.
AST- Your choice. Cheaper to eliminate it. Some people believe it's there for a reason, others see it as a liability.
Catback- Just bolt it on. Only two more mods, usually intake & downpipe before you need a new ECU.

Straight, simple, and to the point. As an add-on to what Sidestick stated, the purpose of the AST is to seperate air from the coolant mixture. The good thing about it is that it allows for more coolant to be added than if it wasn't there which allows supposedly for better efficiency.

so both of the turbos are HT-12s?

HOWEVER, if you plan on doing any more mods at all, you absolutely NEED a new cpu...
