Thumbs up Best Way To Start Modding FD?

Hey wsup guys i haven't posted here in hella long cause my coolant seals went out and i've been hustling to save money for my rebuilt motor. My car is all stock at the moment and I was wondering what is the best way to start modding it out after i get the motor. I've tried doing a search but i havent really had any luck, so i decided to ask you guys. What was the first thing you guys done to your FD? I'm looking at getting a Blitz turbo timer & Blitz boost guage with the A-pillar guage pods and an Apexi or HKS intake. Or should i go with a cat-back Exhaust? I was also wondering what would be the safest way to Mod an FD with the stock ECU since i know that the factory ECU cannot handle too many power upgrades. Also, i want to know which would be the best items to purchase. Thanks for your time guys, your added information is really appreciated.

First and foremost. Don't waste your money on rediculous guages that only add weight and make your car look like rice imho. Turbo timer is a waste of money and serves really no purpose.

well the con rods are notorious for going bad, so you should probably get some new eagle rods. after than, you should probably make sure your valve guides aren't leaking cause you know RX7s burn a lot of oil.
