$1,200 Challenge Redux (Results, etc..) - What do y'all think of my mods list

[Ghetto Mods]

Thanks fellas for all the help and I've come up to speed (pun intended) on a lot of stuff in the past week or so.

If you don't mind, please peep my preliminary list of mods and feel free to offer advice wherever I may still need "calibration".

Goal: all around quicker car 0-60, handling is fine and love the stock brakes.

Limitations: prefer not to mess w/boost, ecu, or engine internals.

Mods list:

1) enganear's shift bushing mod
2) epoxy MM mod (see how-to forum)
3) Cobb SRI
4) Downpipe and test pipe
5) 3.25" TMIC
6) Boost gauge - need recommendation

Not sure what to get next. Possibilities include:

springs
PG exh. manifold
turbo inlet manifold
upgraded bypass valve
cat-back - if the DP and TP upgrades don't already fix the back pressure issue

At this point, I may be talked into a MBC and MAP clamp - they're cheap power, but I don't have access to a wideband and all the other stuff necessary to tune properly so I'm a little leery of messing with these and getting my A/F out of whack.

So fellas - fire away and thanks again for the edjumacation!!

I'd say thats a good start... As for what follows, I'd just finish off the exhaust with a CBE and a BOV...
Then I'd call it a day.

Just remove all the breathing restrictions (intake, TMIC, DP, and CBE) and you'll be a more than happy camper!!
