Smart first order?

[Bluedragondsm]

Have 100-150$ to spend and just bought a 100% stock tsi AWD. I am making an order some time this week and this is the order I am going for.

Goals for the car is stage 1 mods with a 16g and supporting fuel mods (this might change at some point)

1. Boost leak tester
2. New oil cap
3. Prosport mechanical Boost gauge
4. A pillar gauge pod
5. NXS MBC

That should about eat up my budget. Any other suggestions? I am making the order mostly from Mach V Motorsports - High Performance Car Parts if someone knows of a cheaper vendor let me know or any other suggestions for what I would need on a stock DSM.

Timing belt is being done at end of the month as well as new water pump and diff/trans fluid.

Well that's what the boost leak tester and boost gauge are for so. Belts and fluids are being done asap too.

Go through the list of routine maintenence, and then do what you need to.

Usually I assume the prior owner did Nothing and do anything I can to bring the maintenance up to date. It seems expensive, but a timing belt job now is a lot cheaper than a complete head job later. (Though that's usually upgraded later Anyways. To Quote Tim the Tool Man Taylor. "More POWER! *Grunt grunt grunt*)

Timing belt is already scheduled (I Don't personally do the big things like that until I feel more comfortable with the engine). all that stuff is taken care of, I am referring to things I am needing to order
