So i am pretty sure i will be getting this car at the end of the month...1995 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD 120K clean title!!!
Anyways,
Since it is all stock, what should i first put in it? Obviously i need a MAF sensor and probably replace the window button(where can i get that?). I know i want an Intake, BOV, Boost controller and boost gauge. But i am not sure what type or what grand to get on all of them. ANy Suggestions?

i think this is the wrong forum to post this but

Tech Guide: 2G 4G63t Upgrades - DSMtuners

intake a pipes a pipe get something off ebay with a K&N filter
autometer gauges are good.
bov - crushed 1g

Pull out the ECU and check to see if it's an eprom version. That will save you a couple hundred dollars if you ever want to run DSMLink or a custom chip.

Search the site and you'll find threads on ECU removal and eprom chips.

How much would 2 gauges cost and door pillar pod? And how difficult are they to install?

Depends on the guages....anywhere from 50 to 400 easy,
Autometer makes a good 50 dollar boost guage
AEM makes a great 180 electronic boost guage
Pillar is around 50-70 or so I would guess, and they aren't to hard to install.
Man you need to read up about your car, the recommended mods you can do to it. You need to do all the maintaince to the car first before you mod it....IE Timing belt, water pump, seals, gaskets, boost leak test, check all the hoses, flush the radiator, change the tranny, gear, and engine oils, clean the car....
Should I go on?

I have read the mod guide, and the guy thats selling me the car has performed all the maintenance procedures. Ill probably do a thorough clean out and boost leak test upon getting it. I was just asking for some opinions on some things. I am thinking Type-RS BOV, that autometer boost gauge seems like it will do, but what advantage does the electronic meter have?(more accurate readings?) and probably just an Ebay K&N Short Ram Intake.

Best bet is to start out with fuel upgrades and exhaust; and a tuning guide would be helpful. ex=wideband

I think the electronic is just easier to read at a quick glance...it actually says like 10.4lbs of boost instead of you having to look at a guage. It might be more accurate, but that extra 150 can go elsewhere on my car. Why not put a 3" stainless exhaust cat back, or do a complete exhaust kit. Since you have a 2g, you can pick up a cheap 3" from ebay because stainless steel is stainless steel whether generic or if it has APEXI stamped in it. Is it a DD, or a track car, or what? Get or make your own Upper and lower intercooler lines. Walbro 190 fp or rewire yours...

Maintenance, not mods.
