I JUST PUT ON A BOOST CONTROLLER(I'M STAGE 0) AND IT IS AN AWESOME MOD. THE TURBO BUILDS POWER SO MUCH FASTER. I STILL HAVE THE STOCK WASTEGATE TOO, WAITING TO GET STAGE 2. THE CONTROLLER I GOT WAS THE HALLMAN PRO RX. COMES WITH 2 SPRINGS AND HAS A CERAMIC BALL. BEST $100 I SPENT ON THE CAR.

Get a good exhaust. You will want it no matter where you take the car, and I personally don't trust a simple boost controler. Get the turbo toys when you go s2 - it has a multi staged boost controller as well as other plusses built in. The first of the year is coming up soon, so skip the wastegate, s2 comes with a good one, and you won't have to mess with vac. lines, which never seal the same way once you pull 'em once.
You could do a Maxxfab downpipe with a side exit pipe for that money, or a 3" dp with a borla exhaust. Both are good choices.
