Cool thought it sounded strange. Probably just a newer/better turbo would be the single biggest difference to throttle response then IMO (and free flowing exhaust from the turbo back of course). Apart from that I think you've pretty much covered it with the new I/C, hard boost pipes, electric fan etc... I think I may have heard of people underdriving the alternator with a smaller pulley too but not sure how much difference that would make.
Actually on that path, another thing could be to remove the thermostat, "gut" the water pump & fit an electric one with an extra CTS to control the flow, that'd give faster warmup & better cooling control as well as reducing drag on the crank. Another thing is you can have it on a timer so the water still circulates after shutdown. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/CO...512/index.html That's an English seller but Davies Craig pumps are the ones most people seem to be trusting...

yah besides better turbo and the things i said earlier i cant think of much else.drift motion sells new crank alt and ps pully which they save 2.6 lbs which helps a lot. i want to install a 1 piece aluminum drive shaft and i already have a super light fly wheel. not much else i can do

i would steer clear of electric water pumps, they are good enough for tracks where the car is always in motion and wont heat saturate but for a street car it will get overwhelmed very easily especialy here in florida, also when you got the belt driven pump there is peace of mind about reliability, when it lockes up or fails you will hear it but electic can fail and if your not looken at the water temp (like an instance the gf would drive the car) it could have failed and never noticed it
