defnitly (cant spell) gauges. then a air intake, exhaust, auto or manual? fuel plate talk to whitt on a fuel plate hes in the armory for sale section. afc mods are free read the stickies. 3 gsk or 4gsk governor springs but with 4gsk u need to do #60lb springs so u dont float ur valves. advance timing. u have 131 dv's i would get 181's dv's thats delivery valves on top of your pump. a boost elbow for ur turbo cheap mod but wait till u get gauges so u know wat psi u run and so know how far to go so u can set ur wastegate.max i would do is about 35psi main thing is when u go over stock ur pushing ur clutch or tq in ur transmission. its always best to build it or beef it up so u dont have to worry about who has a tranny for sell if its a straightshift a performance clutch will be a good step. full ceramic are real touchy and grabby so thats ur choice a kevlar cereamic is a little of both. after u get gauges beef up the tranny or clutch. get the exhaust done fore better flow. remember more fuel needs more air or cfm so when u start feeding it more fuel ur burning hotter and black smoke is unburnt wasted fuel/hp. if u get lets say 5x12 injectors and have afc mods and a fuel plate on a stock turbo ur gonna be runnin pretty durn hot so 1500 dollars can be a good step to get u ready for around 400 hp. a 62mm turbo, 5x12 injectors, 181dv's, a fuel plate ur desire, afc mods, governor springs, beefed up tranny, and a little this little that ull have more of a dd then wat most people want. if u tow water meth is a good thing to remember to save for its kinda pricey but serves two ways one use water for towing keeps it cooled down and water and meth if a ricer wants to race depepnding on ur set up meth can add a little to 100hp just depends. i ran through this kindly quick but any more questions we can sure help
