That should be good for about 330-350 rwhp if you bump up the boost. Sorry for the abbreviations:

dp= downpipe
cb= catback
ecu= engine control unit
mp= midpipe
ic= intercooler

That should take care of hp increases at first. Then I would look into suspension and whatever else suits your needs. Make sure to get those reliability mods first though!

i would also put asside money into changing all the fluids with some good synthetics, how are the tires, brakes, also the fuel filter, spark plug wires, spark plugs. how are the shocks?

I agree. Don't worry about making more power just yet. Get all the fluids and filters changed, and look at the suspension. If it's the original suspension, it's probably in need of some replacement.

Tires is also another great suggestion. These cars need all the help they can get sticking to the road since they are light weight with good power.

i'd say if the radiator is not included in your reliability mods budget or hasn't already been replaced, it and the thermostat along with upper and lower hoses should be replaced. make sure the jiggle valve on the t-stat remains at 12 o`clock. also, upon removal of the thermostat, try to check to make sure the previous owner didn't put/use block seal or linseed oil to seal coolant leaks that would build up around the fan thermoswitch and prevent it from reliably sensing the coolant temps. iirc the sensor is one of 2 in the rear of the same housing.

Don't forget gauges man! You need to monitor your vitals if you go beyond stock.
-Boost
-Water temp
-Fuel pressure
-Exhaust gas
-Air fuel ratio
-Oil temp
-Oil pressure

Pretty much in that order, some may disagree, but the first 2 I think everyone will agree on.
And since you have some coin, I'll sell you a gauge pod to hold em' in Check em out at
