What's Next
I have an STI slammed on JIC FLT A2 J-spec, TXS RFL BOV, Blitz DTT, Tanabe Racing Medallion Exhaust, Injen Cold air intake.
What should I put on next. Boost controller, Guages (EGT, Air/Fuel Ratio), or downpipe? I really need some advice.
Thanks

Downpipe. Skip the bost controller, F-Con, or anything like that. I would also take off the intake. The BOV is also costing you a little real-world speed but I can understand if it's worth it to you for the sound. What the STi is DYING for is a good downpipe- the stock piece is horrible. If the Tanabe is any good at all, you will notice big gains with a good downpipe like the Vishnu twin dump dp.

I noticed that you have the TXS RFL BOV on your sti. Does it have a lot of clearance on your hood or are you rubbing because i just recently installed the same bov and it is rubbing on my hood and i still haven't got anything back from Turboxs. Let me know whats up.

No mine does not rub on the hood. My friend had the same problem. All you have to do is rotate the BOV so that is blows the air down instead of blowing the air into your hood. You will have an ample amount of clearance. This BOV is extremely loud. I love it!!!

so just turn the bov so that the outlet is facing down towards the ground? i was also wondering if yours made a quick shsh on low boost but then on high boost it made the long shsh because it sounds weird when i am not at full boost and it goes off.

I agree with getting a new downpipe and midpipe to get rid of those cats. Your turbo will spool up faster. Remember that most downpipes come with the mid-pipe section so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. The Vishnu does not. I have a Perrin dp and it takes care of the midpipe cat. Perrin comes highly recommended also.
Next on your list is probally engine management when it comes available, XEDE or UTEC.
Then bigger turbo and fuel injectors and pump.
