Step by Step Modifications
Yes I searched.
Can any tell me what is a good plan for modifications on the FD. What should be first and so on and so on. Or, if possible, a site that'll give me a mod plan. Thanks.

depends on your $ flow...
I went
1. Full exhaust
2. Intake
3. ECU upgrade (prevents boost spike)
4. SMIC
5. Ignition upgrade
6. Fuel pump and Injectors
7. Upgraded to Power FC
8. Short shifter
9. T04S kit
10. Koyo Radiator
In the end... a waist of money. Upgrade wisley.
Any q's? PM me

If you get an ecu first then you will flood your engine like I did...too much fuel. Go with full exhaust and ecu at the same time if at all possible.
I do agree though, if you get a good one that is programmable then you can tune it as the car changes.

So I should go ahead, and get the cat back, mid and downpipe, etc...before I swith my intake or ecu?
Btw, I'll be getting the boost gauge and t-timer first and foremost.

go with a boost gauge, t-timer if you like (most say its a waste of money), dp, cb, then ecu, intake, mp, etc. Running full exhaust without an upgraded ecu is dangerous and not worth the risk, IMO. Some will tell you otherwise but the general concenus is to get the ecu b4 the midpipe.

Yeah, it seems that t-timers might be a waste of $, but I'm impatient when it comes to sitting in my car waiting for it to cool down, eh, and I do enjoy the occiasional "excuse me, I think you left your car on."
I think I'll go ahead and do the cat back, and dp first. I'm starting to see a pattern in opinions so I'll go on it.
Also, what mods should I already ready have before I upgrade my intercooler? Thanks.
