I have stock turbos with the Apexi GT spec exhuast. Thinking about getting the apexi intake from rx7store.net. Do I have to do anything with the stock turbos or intercooler since I will have low air restriction with the exhuast and intake?

Nope

If anything get a boost controller for faster spool and better/even boost line.

Nope, however, (assuming you have a boost gauge) check for boost spikes and get a boost controller if you do. Keep max boost down to 10 PSI.

Like SpeedKing said - get a boost gauge and see what levels of boost you are running. With a stock ECU you don't want to run much more that 11psi to be safe. Chances are that you will see boost spikes up to 13-15psi which is bad and can blow the engine. At that point you want to get a Profec B boost controller to keep boost at safe levels.

Also, read through the newbie stickers as there is lots of good info in there including info about this.

Not just the newbie sticker spend a whole day reading the archives. Then you'll be UBER smart in FD ghetto tech , nah but the archives has a LOT of good info too.
