I have a '93 Eagle Talon Tsi with the following modifications (just like my profile shows), and am curious what kind of ignition upgrades (if any) I should look into getting for better performance? I know that our ignition is already pretty strong, but with the car being 11+ years old, is there anything I should look at upgrading even if I don't as of yet have any problems?

Front Mounted Spearco 2-216 Intercooler,
780cc Injectors,
60 trim PTE T3/T04E turbo,
SS Tubular Manifold,
Tial 38mm Wastegate,
Turbo back o2 eliminator exhaust w/cat,
Walbro 255lph fuel pump,
Fuel rewire,
Full Throttle Speed Fuel Pressure Regulator,
S-AFC II,
Pocketlogger,
ACT 2600 w/ XACT Flywheel
Stage 3 Keydiver ECU chip,
Manual Boost Controller,
Boost Gauge,
EGT Gauge,
A/F Gauge,
AEM Fuel Rail,
Fluidyne Radiator

Also, just as an aside, anything else bolt-on wise that I should look into getting? I've read through the forums for over a year now and haven't really seen much of anything else that I need (besides intake manifold), but I always could have missed something. So any help would be most appreciated.
 
just curious what kind of exhaust manifold you have and if you have any pics? Cams would be a nice addition to your car and ditch that safc. That's outdated technology and doesn't even come close to dsmlink or the aem ems.
 
I have the tubular manifold from RnR racing. I'll try to get some pics of it this week and post them.

As for the cams, I know I need them, but I'm kind of waiting until a bit later this winter then I'll build up the engine itself. I haven't touched the engine and am thinking I will just do it all at the same time.

What is wrong with the S-AFC to begin with? I know at some point I'll want to move to a stand-alone system of some sort. But I think starting with the S-AFC will give me a good basis for learning how to tune correctly.

As for the ignition or other bolt-on's, any ideas on other improvements that I should be looking at, or just wait until something breaks?
 
DSMLink might be about the same price as the components I already have, but it means I would also need to get a '95 ECU as well. I would like to use something a bit better then my current tuning setup, but DSMLink is a bit much then I want to spend right now.
