Yeah the first thing I ever did to the car aftermarket was I installed an aem uego, as well as a bigger boost and water temp gauge. As far as the mileage goes it currently has 160xxx. I didnt put it on the list but before I up the hp at all I plan to replace all gaskets, seals, hoses, vacum lines, etc. Im not upping the hp at all till I know the engine can handle it I just didnt put it down cause I figured it was common sense lol. What I meant about the methanol injection kit is from my understanding isnt that bad for the internals. Like wont it burn them up or am I far off I dont know alot about methanol injection

no meth injection is a good thing basically if you run meth with 93 octane its like running c16 or ~116 octane fuel it only comes on at a set boost level and allows you to run more advance in your timing
and when you make sure your engine can hold the power it would be a good idea to replace bearings and piston ring and have the cylinders honed itd be best to go with a better set of pistons also but the rods should be fine

The Blitz is a crap filter... I'd recommend either an Apex'i or AEM DryFlow (one of the best filters out there in both price and performance). As for what else you'll need there's a lot of over-building going on but that's generally something I'm in favor of, so I've nothing else to add. I will say that I'll take a rebuilt upgrade turbo over a cheap Chinese turbo any day.... you're not going to find a GOOD T4 for anywhere near the same price (not new anyway).
