With my engine setup what would you do next?

The mods are as follows

-cold air intake and tid
-ported TB
-starion FMIC
-3" turbo back to HKS titanium muffler
-Bonez clutch
-removed air pump and all emissions
-elec fan
-BOV
-ported WG and runners on ser. 4 stock wheels
-Walbro pump
-FCD
-800CC secondaries
-SAFC
-manual boost control
-guages
-NX wet 50 shot

What would you guys do next? Some kinda ignition upgrade, elec boost controll, better FMIC, compressor upgrade(cant afford T series)? Anything different?

The general consensus it seems is that the starion IC kinda sucks when it comes to pressure drop, so that would be one thing to (un)do.
I'm not totally sold on Hybrid turbo's yet, so hold onto your cash in that reguard..
I would say you are pretty much maxed out as far power on the stock turbo/ecu/engine setup is concernerd. You are exactly where I was last fall, if you are happy with it, and its quick, stay there and refine some of your tuning/fueling.. If not, start saving because the next step is around 5000-8000 , that is Haltech/T04 etc etc..
The only glaring thing I see is that you still are on the stock cooling system..
Maybe you want to try a Greddy emanage and see if you can wring some more power out that way..Max

Yea, get rid of that starion intercooler. Also, consider some engine porting as well.

Well i would say ECU.. Considering you have a 50 shot on there as well as everything else.. Cooling would also be a good next step..
