i am interested in going further with my mods (2-3g to spend), in pursuit of a single turbo set up (i decided with a kkk based single [blitz]).

mods so far (94 fd):
-apex pfc
-apex gt spec cb
-pettit resonated mp
-hks dp
-boost an a/f ratio gauge
-pettit ast
-new secondaries (stock 850 cc, had fuel leak from injector)
-vaccum lines (silicone)
-ast strip/street clutch (coming soon pettit 6 puck)
-tein ha

what mod should i look to next? i'm thinking (this is all after a search and research on this stuff):

-blitz fmic (really want knightsport hmic and radiator, not in budget)
-fludyne radiator
-850 primaries and 1300 secondaries (again i have a stock motor and twins but doing this now because i want to go single after i get the motor ported, during winter)
-supra oem fuel pump
-greddy pully (to remove air pump)

is this a good second step in mods? in opinions about this setup?

Well, as always, this is only an opinion...

I'd say here's the order you should get your upcoming mods:

1) radiator - gotta keep those temps down, especially now that it's summertime

2) fuel pump - If you're going single, you'll need more fuel to the engine...and I don't think this'll cause any trouble if you do it before you get bigger injectors.

3) injectors

4) FMIC - With a big single application, this will probably boost your HP by quite a bit.

5) Pullies - I'm not a fan of pullies in general as they're on of the least functional mods out there (that's not purely aesthetic anyway).

...If you haven't already gotten stainless steel brake lines, I highly recommend it. Same with speed bleeders...makes bleeding the brakes a breeze.

Sounds like you'll have some fun coming up, so make sure you get this car dyno tuned so you don't blow it up!

thanx for the replt, only reason i want the pully is to get rid of the air pump.

What are your power goals? Unless you're shooting for over 400 rwhp, the new Apexi RX-6 turbo looks very good. It supposedly spools very quickly, ask MaxCooper how he likes his.

I think you should keep the stock primary injectors, no real reason to increase their flow. If you are not getting a LARGE single, it seems like 1300 cc secondaries will be plenty. Definitely get the fuel pump before or simultaneously.

Unless you are getting a large single, you could also stay with an upgraded SMIC instead of going FMIC.

Above all else, make sure that PFC is tuned properly. Unfortunately, recent posts by Artguy as well as others have shed the light on potential problems at XS, the lone Apexi Power Accel tuner. You'll have to find somebody running a similar turbo and start there.
