Anyways, you can save some of that cash by buying a tactrix cable (~$90) then downloading ECUflash (free) along with either Mitsulogger(free) or Evoscan ($25) and then you can buy an e-flash from one of the vendors....but all in all, that mod list seems great

Save your money on the forge DV and pads. The stock DV is good until you go big turbo. I dont know if you need to replace your pads yet but I think stock ones hold up pretty well.
I suggest getting a rear sway bar and have a little fun with your car.
difference between MBC is how well they hold boost.
Hope that helps.

Please don't post responses like this unless you know what you are talking about. There is enough misinformation on this forum as it is.

Ok don't listen to this guy...first of all, it has been documented that the stock plastic DV on the 8s leaks boost under stock like conditions....second, how the heck do you know if he needs to replace his pads? The hawks are quite good, and don't leave the same amount of dust that the stockers do. third, and this one gets me all the time (hope Warr can chime in on this) a rear sway by by itself isn't that great. You can more than make up for the handling characteristics of an aftermarket rear sway with tire pressures etc.

Check those parts out.
MBC- 70
Valve- 95
head studs- 85
k&n filter- 50
Have you inspected your pads yet? You might not need them. Also shop arround. I paid $85 for my walbro with install kit by shopping. What mods do you currently have? MBC, pump, filter, cat back, downpipe, cat delet (if your state doesnt have testing) and new plugs are great first mod's. let me know if you are interest in some parts as if you were to get a few of them, I can work the price some more.

But it isnt a bad idea to get them. Heck, we dont need to modify our cars, we can only legally go the posted speed limit, but we do. Im not saying he HAS to do head studs, it was an opinion to do them.
