Alright here it goes...
I should be getting some money when my birthday comes around (aug. 30th). I have an injen intake and soon to have a pocketlogger...tell me if I'm headed in the right direction

1. hks ssq or type-s (considering i can get the ssq for $110)
2. GReddy UICP
3. Boost and EGT gauge
4. MBC...can't decide whether to get electronic or manual (one that operates inside the car)

Should I get the EGT gauge if i already have the pocket logger?
Is there anything else I'm missing here? I just realized how easy it is to spend $$$ on my car. One thing leads to another and it never ends :( .

Any suggestions would be appreciated. O yea, does anyone have a great site for all these items? I've been looking around at local shops but most of them are too expensive compared to online prices...
sorry for the long post
Thanks
 
Looks like you are on the right track.
I have a couple of comments...

1) I really like the dave brode uicp. It is simple cheap and works. I like it soo much because if and or when you go to a FMIC you alot of times replace the upper pipe. That way you are not out much.

2)Get the Boost and EGT gauge. I wish I would of had the EGT long before I got one. I was Run WAY hot a the end of 3rd and 4th gear.

3) Get a MBC and take the rest of the money you saved and put it towards an exhaust system. I got a Joe P to begin with. It is cheap and it works. If you have to have one that you can change the boost pressure from inside the car I would recommend the Turbo XS dual stage boost controller. It is two Boost controllers with a solnoid on them to switch between the two. Or option #3 turbo XS makes the High preformance Boost controller. It is just a single, but you can change it into a Dual stage later if you would like. I will be switching to the Dual stage here in the near future.
 
A testpipe is good HP for the buck, just you won't pass a visual inspection and especially a sniffer if you have those in your state. However, make sure you know what exhaust setup you are eventually going to go with if your serious about modding your car, then you will probably want a 3" dp and thus get a 3" testpipe with 3" exhaust. If you aren't going all out, then I would just go with a 2.5" downpipe and testpipe, but still go with 3" exhaust.
 
I am pretty sure that the Greddy UICP is setup to only work with a Greddy BOV. If you wanted to use another type you would have to change the flange. I think you would actually need to weld a different one on.
