hey guys, well i was right on the tax return its not bad at all, actually im jumping for joy, but here comes the hard part, i want to get some of the final touches when it comes to performance done, keep in mind im gonna stick with the stock turbo. but here is my plans: brian crower stage 2 cams, fidanza cam gears, stage 2 injectors, walboro fuel pump, 180 thermostat, and the diablo predator computer chip, and its possible ill go with a different intercooler, but if i do it will be direct fit one, and a better clutch. i think with those pieces to the puzzle ill have a nice smooth, powerful daily driver, i want to run about 19 - 21 lbs of boost. if anyone has some advice on some other parts that i may need or that i dont need let me know, thanks and i appreciate it.

yeah, im looking at around 300 - 320 for now, i plan on later much later after i put some miles on it to go to a 50 trim, but i wanna put these parts on first to see if im gonna like it, all i have to do when i get the 50 trim is just change out a few things, well its more than a few, but the cams, cam gears, fuel pump i can keep i might have to up to a bigger injector and the diablo wont work with a bigger turbo, ill probably go with the sct there, and im not worried about the cost, i can resell the other parts to help compensate the bigger turbo neccessities, i think i can get away with the stock intercooler for now, that wont be the case on the 50 trim, the clutch i might be able to hold on that one too. when i get in this weekend, im changing out my radiator coolant, installing the samco hoses, 180degree thermo, changing out the air filter, installing the new depo black led tails, and the check valve.
here next weekend ill be selling my depo led tails, they are the clears, i figure i could let em go for $115, ive only had them 3 months, and you all know i dont drive my car that much.
Another question, how many people here are not running heat shields?
I had to mangle the lower one to get it off.
I can get the top one on but not the lower one.
Any ill effects if i leave both off, and buy a coil heat sheild?
