Well Ijust picked me up a 95 talon that already has a FP big T28, Walboro 255 fuel pump, K&N FIPK, greddy exhaust, turbosmart MBC, boost gauge, turbo timer, eibach springs with koni shocks, Greddy hard pipes, and a greddy BOV. I was think that I should get the following by getting a downpipe/02 housing, FMIC, and then a dsm link. Car is currently set at about 15psi.
 
Fuel pump, downpipe, port 02 housing, wires and plugs (ngk bpr7es)..u really do not need a fmic with a t28, unless you are stepping up the injectors and boost. Enjoy the quick spool with your smic, in the meantime. : ) I have the fp28, and I love the spool with the sidemount.
 
since you just the bought the car, i would personally check out all the maintenence on the vehicle first...unless you know the last time the timing belt, timing components, water pump, fluids...etc. have been changed. when modifying a car you must take care of the vehicle and maintain it regularly. start with that...then move on to bigger and better things!

You really need to give her a thourough check up! If you don't already have an AFPR you should get one, because that Walbro is overrunning your stock one. I would go ahead and get injectors, so you can turn up the boost, Downpipe, Port O2. Now I would add some RMDSM sway bars. They won't make you faster, but your car will handle so much better, and you already have a good shock/spring setup. You can't imaging how much of a difference the sway bars make!
 
Do all your maintence first. Including a boost leak test and timing belt if it hasent been done. Once you do all that the first thing you need to do is get a adjustable fuel preasure regulator as the 255 is probally overrunning the stock fpr. This will aid in ease of tuning later. Then follow the upgrade path... dp and cat, then decide if you will want a bigger turbo in the future. If you might you should go ahead with larger injectors and dsmlink. If you will be content then go with 550,s and a safc. Have fun and good luck!
 
I forgot to add that it has a road race engineering strut bar up front. It just had a new motor installed about 2k miles ago so I should be good on maintnence. I will probably go ahead and remove the balance shaft and put on a kevlar timing belt. Tuesday I will be going to order a 3" dp, and a punishment 02 housing with a atmospheric dump. My buddy with said he would give me a set of 550 injectors for like 20 bucks so I might go ahead and pick those up while I am at it.
 
Definately get the 550's for $20, and when you get DSMlink get bigger ones. Hell I wish I could find some inexpensive injectors like that. :D
