ok you got a good jump with the hg and arp bolts and air freshener. ct26 is effient up to about 12-13psi then it just creates too much friction/heat. i dont think it really matters which mod you do first, but id recommend replacing the stock turbo elbo and dp first. difference between mech and electric gauges (correct if wrong) are mech have moving parts as to where the electric has wires and sensors. id prefer the electric becuase they dont have moving parts, hence less chance of jamming, breaking, etc. and yes ppl have replaced their stock boost gauge with a little modification http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8690

Thanks alot for the help! Actually the downpipe/elbow was the first thing I was planning on upgrading =D. So will my car be able to handle all the mod's i listed without having to do any other upgrades?

i think it would be ok but you might want to eventually get the car tuned so it doesnt run rich/lean. if it were on my car i wouldnt think it couldnt handle it but, im gonna say do some more research or maybe someone else will say. to put it simply, i dont know

Sounds like something I wan't to get into. Any little thing I can do to tune my car to make sure it's running perfect is what I will do. The only thing is I don't know how, yet . What can I do to tune it? I have heard about wideband gauges, but that's all I know.. Don't even know if that is what I need.

If you could just point me into the right direction so that I know where to research this stuff, then that would be great!

Thanks
