I was wondering what I should consider next on my mods list? Right now I have:

TRZ Engine Mount
TMZ Bushings
CP-E SRI & Inlet
Full Corksport Exhaust
And AP on the way. (Im looking for one)

BPV?
 
From experience i suggest the PG tubular manifold, then bpv then upgraded tmic or spring for the fmic. then go meth.
 
I would get the TMIC, that way it would work with the ap.
Or if you can go with the cobb FMIC
 
dang, those who have the blow to spend on an AP are ballin. I'd hagve a grip more mods on your ride before sending that kind of cash on an AP.

get the IC first

All you need is the Intake and TBE to run the STAGE 2+. The AP was the best thing that i have bought, and made the most differance.

From there you can add the TMIC or FMIC and you are just awsome.

well I do need it I get fuel cut in 5th and 6th, and I wanna be on the safer side.

and IC you mean inner cooler?
 
Intercooler

You can get an AP or an IC. I personally think its better to get the IC first but I don't think it matters that much. The AP would prob get you a little more power.

I am more or less at the same point as you deciding what to do next. I was thinking of doing the turbo exhaust manifold next but wasnt sure which one to get...either the one WITH or WITHOUT external wastegate. Is the external wastegate necessary and worth it? after that I would do the TMIC mainly cuz its cheaper and does a good enough job I heard.

do you have the plugs to run with the ordered AP, i just received mine and I am so tempted to run it without the new plugs ut from what people have posted you should run the AP with the pre-gapped spark plugs, just an idea.

Well after My motor throwing a rod on tuesday afternoon i would suggest a forged block/internals as you next mod. LOL, nah just kidding, just a fluke and my luck combined. The externally wategated manifold is not needed unless you are gunna be running high boost cause pple are having k04overbost issues when highly modded. The tmic is more expensive than the mani.

I obviously do not want to throw a piston or rod, no one does. Seriously when should this be A NECESSITY?
 
I say go with a TMIC, gains are good for 20hp/20 lbft and it won't succomb to heat soak anywhere as bad as the stock unit does. If not that, get a Cobb AP, one of the guys on here just gained 22hp/15 lbft.
