But yeah, a boost controller, turbo-back exhaust, hard pipes/intake are all great starting mods, and potentially reusable if you make major modifications in the future, such as a different turbo. What kind of numbers are you looking to squeeze out of your car in the near future?

P.S. Welcome to the site

These guys all gave good info. Finish up the exhaust is good. Intake, boost control and a boost gauge. a wideband and a fuel cut eliminator (If you want to turn your boost up a good amount) If you do a eliminator get a wideband! I personaly like AEM.

Let me know if I can get you set up with any Parts

Well you could go with a Cobb access port and a stage 2 setup. Scoobies can be expensive to mod. You may be happy with just a turboback exhaust and a tune.

if i were you i would do the gauges like boost, a/f, and i personally like the knock gauge. after i would go to an exhaust and manual boost controller, then its time to start working on electronics and bulding the engine. once thats done bigger turbo and tunage on the dyno.
