Power FC. Leave the stock main cat on for now. Does your 'el cheapo' intercooler have a duct?

Also, don't forget about the maintenance.....when was the last time this stuff was done:
Spark plugs and wires?
fuel filter?
tranny fluid?
diff fluid?
coolant?

Get a PFC
more fuel won't do anything unless you have a way to control it

what would you need a wastegate for? are you single?

and ignition is much further down the road

an aluminum radiator is not a bad idea for reliability reasons
