Any help will be much appriciated!
My car has power everything and ABS also 17" rims which wiegh about 35# each.

ok first you should get a boost gauge so you know what kind of boost you are running on your motor with no fuel upgrades.

second you should get a walbro 255 pump and bigger injectors, possibly fuel lines if you need more fuel later down the road.

you should also get a bigger O2 housing or port it out.


i would get a datalogger after that so you can tune your A/F timing and monitor engine data.

then after that you are ready for a turbo upgrade. so you can turn the boost up.

after you get the turbo upgrade go for the FMIC and piping so you dont have to upgrade to 3 inch pipes if you got the FMIC before turbo upgrade.

prolly missed a couple things but thats what i would do off the top of my head.
 
u must be absolutly crazy if u dont have an upper intercooler pipe, if u dont u need to get one bad, have u seen how small the stock one is? with that, a clutch, data logger, a fuel pump, other fuel components, u should be smashing the v8s
but i dont see y u arent now, u can look at my mods, iv got a clutch, a turbo back exhaust, intake, and an mbc at 16 psi(and in installing a fuel pmp within a few weeks), and mustangs arent touching me from a roll without serious work done(v8 owners like to shorten the gearing, that might get me one of these days), it would just be a nasty spanking if one raced me from a stop, except the new blown cobra and saleen, i havent raced either of those yet

I fugured you would assume I have a boost guage. I am running 15 psi . I do have a Holley 255lph pump but haven't installed it yet. Would I have to get the turbo uprade to get over 300HP? Would second gen o2 housing be adaquette?
 
stock injectors are good for about 250 to the wheels, people have run low 12s on a ported 14b without major internal motor work, some have gone high 11s with it
and an evo 3 housing is a little bigger then a 2g housing, u might want to look into one of those, but u should probally just port ur stock one, when u get a bigger turbo and need to buy an o2 for an external dump it would be a shame to have a nice ported 2g o2 just to have to toss it
