Blitz filter
Forge Wastegate actuator Good
Forge Unos boost controller Good
Forge RS DV Good
Helix hardpipe kit Garbage (Go with Nisei if you want to retain battery)
Megan turbo manifold Decent (Spend your money elsewhere)
Jestertuning on the dyno Good

Forge Unos boost controller - Excellent
Forge RS DV - Excellent part, but no reason to replace your stock BOV that is also excellent
Helix hardpipe kit - What is this? IC pipes? If so, then skip it
Megan turbo manifold - Don't need this either - get a ported/coated stock manifold for less
Jestertuning on the dyno - should be good
You'd spend around $2500 on that and not make anymore power than if you spend $1270 on the Buschur package that happens to include the new Bullet muffler. Check here to see what simple mods can get you in terms of power on a IX:

He already has an MR BOV and there's no reason to mod his stock wastegate.

If youre talking about the stainless steel blitz filter then I would stay away from it. Ive seen tests that show that it flows less air and does not filter as well as other filters like K&N.

no it's a stainless screen that attaches to the top of the airbox & uses a foam drop-in...

actually if he takes the w/g off & turns the turnbuckle all the way down he can reduce the amount of boost taper with his flash.

Not anymore than with an MBC. I have the Forge WGA tightened down quite a bit, and the turbo still tapers. It's just a natural thing...
