* Reinforced swaybar mounts

Without a doubt

I would say that the following 3 options would be the best idea:

a) Give the money to me
b) Get an APEXi PowerFC and a Downpipe
c) Get some efini Turbos

PFC, midpipe, downpipe. if your engine had high mileage then i would first put it towards a rebuild.

Do not get a midpipe unless you are willing to pull the turbos and port the wastegate. Absolutely get a downpipe.

I would spend the money on making sure everything on the car is 100% before spending it on mods.....

Yep. Sorry, forgot to mention that

If you don't port the w/g, you're more than likely to see creep/spike. I did, that's why the problem is being alleviated right now
