Upgrading the fuel system, a Power FC, either rebuild or find a nice used transmission. I'm thinking about some BNR's or 99 spec twins. I have my eyes on some Work Emotion 11R's . Hopefully I can convince my wife that I absolutely HAVE to have them....that usually works!

I'm going to upgrade my manual boost controller to an electronic one. I'm only getting 7psi out of my primary turbo then it jumps to 12psi once my secondary kicks in. Before I had the manual boost controller installed, I was boosting the proper 10-8-10. Hopefully with the electronic unit I could get it to 14-12-14. I'm leaning toward the HKS evc 6(kind of pricy and maybe overkill for 99 spec twins) or the HKS evc-s. Thoughts on this would be appreciated.

pay off my credit card!!! so that I can again load it up with more crap for my car. The never ending cycle of owning an FD. I swear if the car didn't look so good it wouldn't get away with taking my money all the time, but one look and I can't resist.

He might wanna look into another CPA, I'm single and had similar income last year and I had 3k return, all went into buying a house tho... I made more this year so probably gonna get less back, they'll most likely go toward the FD fund, looking to join the Rotary club this year

I'm considering a 4-post lift so I can get my truck and FD's in my shop. Money put away for kids college and for family visit to Thailand where I'll be for 2-3 months later this year. Oh, not all from tax return..not sure I will get much back. I'm hoping for decent bonus this year.
