I'd say you guys should not encourage noobs to push the car so hard when they haven't done their homework. I would say convince them to calm down a bit, and make their whp goals in stages, like in 25whp increments and an ultimate goal. Mine is 250, but it's not like I'm going to get that overnight, it's going to take a lot of time, research, and bothering all you people.
I would say the stepping process should be:
1: Boost gauge, wideband O2, turboback exhaust
2: FMIC, MBC, AFC, up the boost to 10psi (maybe get some more gauges to monitor oil and coolant)
3: Tubular mani, bigger turbo (T-28 or 16G)
4: Fuel pump, injectors, and something to control the injectors
5: Forged internals, up the boost to whatever you feel comfortable with
