Question Upgrade status of my 93 FD.....need suggestions on further upgrades

So far:

1993 Silver Touring FD - Burgundy interior - 110k

Ist thing I did when I bought the car ~
Full silicon hose job
Koyo radiator
Aluminum AST
Boost Guage

Next, upgrades in order of installation
Downpipe
PFS Stock mount intercooler with built in intake
Apexi GT Spec exhaust
Greddy Pulley Kit - Elbow - BOV
efini Y-Pipe
Apexi Power FC
Greddy Profec B EBC set at 12.5lbs
Midpipe
Nippon Denso High Flow Fuel Pump
NGK spark plugs

I really wanted to mod the car with quality parts in the correct order. I made some costly mistakes when I was younger. It was tuned by Ray @ PFS. The car dynoed 320hp and 270ft/lbs. For a 14 year old car with the original engine I was quite pleased. I absolutely love this car!!! Now where do I go from here?? I know its time for a single turbo upgrade, but I think it would put my car over the edge. Ill save that for after my engine goes, when I can street port it and really take advantage of the extra power.

Considerations:
ACT 6 puck clutch with aluminum flywheel
HKS Twin power igniton
Mazdaspeed short shift kit
Upgraded fuel system(550 primaries and 1600 secondarys)
J+S Knock Sensor

I am about to put my baby away for the winter so its time to get some new parts for spring to go along with the ebc brakes and tein springs ive yet to install. Where do I go from here..........any suggestions ??? thanks

oh yeah..and ill have to pics some pics of her with her new silver Gram Lights 57Fs

short shifter really makes the car a lot funner to drive IMO

if you are craving more power, fuel system would be your first step and maybe push the twins to 14psi?

if you are just waiting for your engine to go and then do other upgrades like suspension (sways, bushings, braces, blah), prep the car with a wbO2? do some exterior stuff (vented hood)? just throwing out ideas
