I agree...or just a turbo timer if you feel $130 is too much to spend on the Blitz, you can find a basic TT for about $70-$80. Extending the life of your Turbo is never a bad thing.

The IC would be a pretty penny and you could still save up for it.

The Front Lip is purely cosmetic (i stay away from cosmetics for the most part...I like functionality)

The Pillar Pod & Gauges....well if you get the Blitz TT-DC2 you will have a boost gauge and not need to buy a pillar pod for that...but if you want other gauges, not a bad idea...what gauges are you considering?

as far as functionality vs. cosmetics...well im just not looking to upgrade performance really right now...im happy with the way it is....the reason i might save up to get a new IC is because of efficiency really, im not out for HP gains, not until i really learn how to handle the car.

i was thinking of boost and A/F

Totally agree with you....I wasn't talking "performance", I was talking "functionality"

A turbo timer actually does something, while a lip just looks nice (or can look nice).

You could kill a few birds with a couple stones here...
Blitz TT-DC2 = turbo timer and boost gauge
OrangeSpeed is selling an A/F gauge for like $40 here:
$40 A/F gauge

Now all you would have to do is buy a pillar pod (or buy one of the pods that are molded into the steering column...do a search, it's on here, and it almost looks stock)

About $170 investment (plus the cost of the gauge pod), and you have your gagues and a turbo timer.

You have many options.
 
if you are happy with the performance then get the lip. they look sweet.

Be warned: Titan Motorsports CAN be very difficult on returns or problems. I've had bad experiences with them on my previous car.
 
guages first...then quickly get a turbo timer (very well worth the money)

If you have a boost guage at least you can monitor WHAT you are boosting at... I cannot belive it did not come with one stock. There just my be one day when your wastegate just says open and you are boost at 20psi...and we all know that would be murder on your car. With a boost guage at least you will know whats going on.
