If you still have a factory DP and midpipe both, get the DP to eliminate the extremely problematic precat, this assumes you have a boost gauge because its possible, though unlikely given that you dont have an intake or catback, to overboost. Id follow it up with a PFC down the road.

we have a winner. the mods listed do reflect the ones that are on the car. and a mid pipe is on its way as well.

So do you still have stock suspension and brakes?

yes,the banana is all yours so long as you post some cameltoe pictures while you're over there having fun in the big sandbox. and for some reason i'm not able to put a smiley face after that.
anyway, yes i do believe the suspension and brakes are stock. however this is not my car,i'm doing a little research for somebody after giving my opinion to see what others think and how close i was with my thoughts and ideas on what to upgrade next. i said fuel system(pump,filter,injectors) and Intercooler.

I disagree with upgrading the radiator and y pipe
those mods are pretty much useless unless your y pipe is leaking or you end tanks broke on your radiator. You don't get that much power from the y pipe and the stock radiator works fine unless you have a front mount.
Make sure he has water and boost gauges.
I would also go with an intercooler next and an electronic boost controller at the same time.
Watch out for the midpipe. May have a hard time controlling the boost. Upgrading fuel is a good idea with that and definetaly have your pfc retuned afterwards.
Kinda scary that this kid is asking others what to mod on his own car. Just keep the boost to 12-13 psi max on stock fuel to be supersafe.

what do you guys think about tuning the car at 14psi on the stock twins and IC with the rest of the upgrades and the PFC? safe or a no go?

The stock radiator works fine for most uses........until it breaks. A good quality aftermarket radiator will be more reliable.
They efini y-pipe added about 10 hp to the FD when Mazda put in in the car in 96(??). After installing a downpipe on my car, it was boosting to 12 psi. Next, I installed the Efini pipe, and opened up the stock airbox. The car was boosting to 15 1/2 with no change in boost control. That's 3 1/2 psi of additional boost from those 2 mods. I can't say how much each provided, but I have to assume that the y-pipe had to be at least one psi.

The stock IC is really terrible. Not only does it not cool the intake charge very well, it has a high pressure drop. Which means your turbos will be pushing over 16 psi just to get to 14. With a larger IC, your turbos will be working easier and your intake air temps will drop even further.
FWIW, my mechanic has recently re-built a motor for someone running 15 psi on the stock IC -- too high of intake temps.
