If like spirited driving and you plan on upgrading to a turbo larger that a normal K04 setup with any reasonable boost (don't over boost), you will need to use a good FMIC or you will experience heat soak resulting in loss of power etc.
The P-flo air intake system works well, just don't over oil the filter and the Neuspeed anti-sway bars are very nice..
If you are going to upgrade the turbo, I would recommend at least going to a K04 or larger. The main problem with going larger than a K04 is finding a competant tuner that can create correctly operating software for an APH...Goodluck on that one.
I like Autotechs 10LB Steel Billet flywheel, overall it really depends on how far you want to go into the transmission.
Much depends on what you want to accomplish when all is said and done and if you live in a smog state then this will be a large consideration, this web can get very sticky and tangled the deeper you delve.

We are getting together on the 15th to put together a building sheet.
Hardey actually recommended Autotech, I don't want my clutch to be heavy in traffic. So I don't know if that will be an issue.
I was already planning on going with Tyrol (sp?) SMIC, I really don't want to loose my fogs, but then again i'm taking suggestions from what I gather, and going with that.
I know the APH can be a PITA. Unitronic gives you two options when you "flash" your car. Which I have already done. One is high octane tune, or $50 flash to KO4. If not i'll just have him get a program for my car custom done? I'm sure it'll require the bigger injectors (probably tt size) we shall see. I don't wanna get too far into the tranny just yet but a new clutch and short throw are going in with the new turbo.
Does anyone know if those NEUSPEED SofSport Spring Kit will work with bilstein sport struts? I wasn't sure on that one. But i'm definitely getting sway bars.
This might take a minute but should be done by the end of summer/early fall if all goes well.
My shift linkage is screwing up 2nd and doesn't want to let me go in there... Oh well...
Any ideas on rims? I was thinking of maybe getting some huffs, or some 911 turbo wheels. I know adapters may be required
