Exhaust will make a good difference. Make sure you get a new dump to make the most of the new exhaust.

Cooler and a few more psi(if your motor is in good condition) will give u a few more ponies
-JA Starion with JD bits , Forged engine, Heaps of mods (parked up)
-BFII XR6 Turbo Ute , Here comes 400hp for 2k :p
-77 Mazda 323 drag car. 13bt rotary project.

Yes i have too many toys.

Boost controller will let you increase the boost, you need a cooler for anything over 10 psi.

and dont even think of boost above 14.7psi ( 1 bar) with the stock computer as it has a fuel cut in place for good reason.

10 psi and 50 shot for cheap performance. Clutch slip will be just around the corner though!
