Talking Moms wondering what I want for Christmas, already! :)

My mother is already worrying about what to get me for Christmas and I have to give her some ideas and usually I always get car parts for the skittle. Just wondering about some ideas you guys and girls might have for me cause I am not sure. My goal for the car is to get into the 11s with it and to have it be a daily driver also. I have a OCC, Dogbones, STS with booger bushings, AGP wastegate, MSD wires, AEM SRI, IGK iridiums plugs, and the blue plate BOV. Anyone have some ideas on what to get next to accomplish my goals( and be reasonable, like no turbo upgrades and so on).

I was thinking maybe intercooler or hardpipes with a real BOV?

IDK, let me know what ya think!

Thanks

Electronic Boost Controller.
They are nice and convinient, but IMO, they arent worth the price when a manual bc can do the same thing. Again, my opinion.

Werd on the exhaust!

they are and they aren't worth the price. do they do the same thing? technically yes. but you can control much more accurately with the ebc over a mbc, plus get boost by gear, which no mbc can do. i always ran a mbc in my car and never really thought twice about it. now that i'm on ems i see the difference that being able to set boost by gear really does, as well as more specific boost tuning, and it's 2348573048583048x worth the money. most people aren't going to get a ems of course, but many ebc's do a lot of the same stuff when it comes to boost.

yes you can install a ebc yourself as long as you're not afraid of wiring. it takes a few hours, but nothing that can't be done with some research and a few beers.......

Here's some ideas:
Full 3" Exhaust
3" O2 housing
Wideband (needed if you plan on getting the EBC or MBC...I have an EBC and prefer it)
2.5" Charge Pipe (CTI, PTP, etc)
Throttle Body (DCR 55mm is a nice one, so is the MPX 60mm)
Lowering Springs (not HP related but gets rid of gap)
Full suspension bushing kit (again not HP related, but damn neccessary as your stock bushings are ****)

I could keep going but I'll leave it at that for now.
