So, I decided to set my goals low for the beggining as some people said to me. Well, right now, I'm almost stock, and I was looking to get the FMIC, with a hard piping, and a blow thru setup. And boost my 14B higher.

Buy Maf Translator:

Find a 3" MAf sensor form a junkyard

A friend of mine is goint to give me a FMIC 24 7 3, Would this be all right, for now?

Also find a J-pipe, and anybody know where to get one for cheap? Also same goes for the tb elbow.

Buy an intercooler piping of ebay, anybody know which one would be the best for me to get? And with that is it worth getting this thing:

So is there anything else, I'm missing? And would I need to get a metal headgasket or something like that? If so, in which order do I take the head bolts off? Any help and advice would be really... helpfull. Thanks to everybody. I guess, it's time to upgrade, and try to reach 250 at the wheels.
 
For the order of the head bolts just go opposite. From the middle to the outsides. Also if you plan on boosting the 14b higher, buy a 2g ported ex manifold for faster spool, a 3 inch turboback exhaust, port the 02 housing, just pretty much just open it up to breathe. Rewire the stovk fuelpump. I would also just wait on the headgasket, because if you are not going to be boosting much past 16 at first, then I wouldnt worry about the headgasket/headstuds.
 
If I were you I would go with a 2g MAF rather than the Blow thru setup. Looks like your budget might be kinda tight since you are looking to do small things to try to gain HP. My suggestion would be to do the 2g MAS, open air filter, O2 back 3" exhaust, 2g TB elbow, and save some money for a bigger turbo. Also look into doing as many of the free mods as you can.
As for that Greddy Type S BOV flange, I wouldnt buy it. All your gonna get is a pipe with a flange that will not replace the stock BOV pipe. The stock pipe is curved. My suggestion, is to keep the stock BOV or crush it. Check this website out, there is a lot of information with good instructions and pictures to help you complete a variety of tasks.

Well, see right now basically I'm preparing for a bigger turbo, doing supporting mods basically. I don't want to buy the MAF T when I get a bigger turbo, why not buy it right off, so that then I won't have a useless 2G MAF sitting in my garage. I hope, you get what I mean.
