Best performance steps?

I own an RX7 FD 95, Japanese spec if that means anything. I was really looking to give it more.. *punch* and some really good (lower- end - speed) its pretty much stock with the exception of a blitz intercooler and a blitz BOV. Any ideas on what i could to do *for easy instillation and high Power gains* also for cheaper too $_$..?

I'd start with the basic intake and make sure that your exhaust is very free flowing.
Don't worry about doing a cold air intake though because there have been some studies showing that after the air is compressed in the turbo it comes out to be pretty close to the same temperature regardless of the filters distance from the heat.

Take care. You can bolt on mods and get some power but if you aren't watching some critical things you will pop your engine.

Full exhaust is a no-go unless your boost stays 100% in control. So at least you'll need a boost controller and keep your boost fixed.

So:
- Boost gauge
- Radiator
- Downpipe and muffler (leave the center cat)
- Intake
- PowerFC
- Increase boost to 12psi

BTW, if you think you can add power to an FD cheaply you're in for a rude awakening. There are loads of cheap parts out there that can destroy your engine if you don't apply them properly.
