SUSPENSION!!!!
This car makes power sooooo easily, that before you know it you have gone beyond what the stock system is designed to handle (if you drive anything other than a straight line). Do yourself a favor and work with someone reputable in your area to get a suspension system set-up; wont do you any good to wrap your car around a tree, cuz the power was so overwhelming taking a curve you let off the gas, causing your weight to shift drastically
If we had cars that weighed like 3000 lbs, wouldn't be nearly as big a deal, but we got ourselves a big girl that likes to be ridden rough ;p

When you go with the boost controller go with the Grimmspeed EBC. You will then need to unistall the boost pill. I would install this when you install the intake and turbo because your car will need to be retuned. If your going to wait on the turbo a bit then just install the EBC with the intake because once those parts are installed a new tune will be required. Also the wideband is an air/fuel ratio gauge I have the AEM one installed on mine.

AEM seems to be the most trusted wideband to go with. I have it on my car. People will ask if it's really worth it or not? Well it depends on how much you love your car. If you're allergic to money and don't care about it, then don't install one. If you are like many of us and find your girlfriend being jealous of your car, then get one. The wideband will tell you your air to fuel ratio. Meaning that it tells you if you are running rich, burning too much gas, or lean, not enough gas. Too much just means that you are wasting gas, and money. Running lean is not good for your car. Basically you want to know this to know if something is wrong with your car. If your numbers are normally in the high 14s and then all of a sudden you're running around 17, then you know you have a problem and need to get it looked at. Your car can't tell you if something is wrong, so you have to take measures to find out on your own.

^ Yeah I'm going to second that, the SST with a proper tune can handle way more than the RAD can spit out (but she seems to be a good little turbo, haha)!

its not going to pick up much at peak, it spools quicker-
BUT the drawback is the earlier spool is really going to give the SST a workout.... I may not offer it because I dont want to offer a product that will then cause headaches with the Trans!

I remembered reading somewhere that he wasnt going to make the full. After finding this again, I realize it wasnt a conclusive decision. Sorry for the confusion
