Just ordered the 3 inch downpipe and exhaust from Magnus motorsports, said it would take him three days to put together. Also ordered the three piller gauge pod, for greddy boost gauge , fuel pressure gauge, and oil pressure gauge. Got the greddy tubo timer going in tomorrow with the Injen intake. I can not wait. All coming together nicely. I am waiting for the shop manual to check the internals and compression ratio before I install the apex to boost it more and then I might go with the t3 or t4 turbo and of course the manifold. Any other suggestions I would love to here them I am up for everything, just want to play it a little safe for now. Buy the way the guy at Magnus was great and it cost $1050.00 I know that is a lot but considering it comes with the down pipe it's not bad, you figure you have to spend about $250.00 for that and then another $600.00 for an exhaust so what the hell. Tell me what you think.
 
is the exhaust thermal coated and what kind of muffler do they use? I want it shiny but in the pics it didn't look shiny.
 
How about some asthetics? Maybe a CF hood, FMIC? Dunno, looks like you have enough to keep you busy until your ready for the big guns(guns) t3

Compression ratio is 9.1:1. A bit high for a high-boost turbo car, but not untunable. The motor isn't the strongest, but it has put up with 7000 miles of my abuse, it has been no less than 10 psi since it had about 150 miles on it too :).. Read my thread about my dyno #'s and such. The car has potential, just need to tune for it.
