uppipe and downpipe will help you a lot with some low end, midrange grunt. OH yeah, might as well just go with a Turbo Back for the sake of it.
MBC (AFTER you do the uppipe) set at like 15-16 lbs will really open up your speed. (Beware of HIGH EGTs at Part Throttle)
Uhhh..... 3/16ths mod may help a little..... Silencer Removal is "supposed" to give you like 5 extra horse power, and it helps your engine breather easier.
Dunno........ My car feels great...... but I'm running a stage IV set up...... so can't really say what it feels like compared to yours, now can I?
Yeah, most of those mods I just said will help you out, and shouldn't be expensive (except for the exhaust stuff)

Oh yeah, a straight through muffler will definitely help.

Higher compression?
Works great for everybody else, but you will then need to do some serious tuing to stay away from detonation.

P.S. ECUTEC done by Shiv works wonders!

BOOST CONTROLLER.
Forget all this remapping. For $200 to $300 you can get excellent and safe response... just take some advice first on how to tune the controller. Dont waste your time with a manual. Get an electronic controller.
Why do I say forget remapping? Because unless your car is reaching towards the highly modified stage, its a waste of money. You can do the same, just as safely with a boost controller and stock ECU on a mild to moderately modified car.
Don't get sucked into the marketing.
I only have a cat back exhaust, sillicon IC hoses and an EBC set to a max of 15.8 PSI and I've already shaved 1/2 a second off my drag times from the professional drag times (14.2s) from folks in SportCompactCar and Car & Driver (or was it MotorTrend, I forget). That's right, I'm hitting high 13s with only that stuff and there are guys on I-Club doing better with only more skill. I figure once I get an uppipe and single racing cat in the downpipe I will be in the mid 13s. Believe me, the difference is definately felt down on the bottom.
The best part? I can change my car back to stock whenever I want, all by myself.... for free.

Get an Uppipe before you do any Higher Boost..... it's not worth the possibility of High EGTs destroying your Cat---->Turbo---->Engine (in that order)
Oh, and ECUTECK is not just marketing......... you get your ECU reflashed for EVERY ounce of power that your car can take........ and it's SUPER Safe. (MUCH better than just upping the boost and making your ECU pull timing......)

i jus spelt it wrong honest i can't stand people who are like that either jus cus they have the sticker on their car it's like they hold the national land speed record or somethin.IMHO I hat puttin the stickers and emblems u get from places on ur car cus it jus makes it look gawdy. Plus if u r ever out go up to some of those people and be like hmm i see u have a vishnu sticker on there what ya got? And then out comes the stupidity "Oh man yo I got a vishnu radiator hose kit that gives me like mad 25 whp man i can bust like low 12's all day long" and then u can jus laugh and laugh to urself cus of how stupid they jus made their self look. No Offense to people makin their car for looks but if ur goin to do it and have the stickers and the car please have the parts on the car that came from that company. Oh and i did not mean to flame anyone or anything I was jus givin my own opinion.
