MAFT Pro running speed/density and boost control (it's a fuel controller too), upgraded turbo or upgraded trim on the stocker, 550cc injectors (NOT Venoms!!!), Walbro fuel pump, suspension (this one really depends on your tastes and driving style).

So basically, with a ~4000$ budget you can do all that and run low 13s on the 1/4 mile?

im doing the plugs tomorrow (suggestions on gapping?). i wanna run 10-12 psi. should i do interccoler and piping or fuel next? i wanna do a lex afm and 550's. should i get a 255lph intank pump? will i need it? if so, what kind of tuning am i gonna have to do? any shared experiences are appreciated!

I haven't done it before but from what I read, changing the intercooler itself isn't important if you only want to boost up to 12psi. Go for it's piping and change your fuel pump, injectors and of course, a lexus afm or just a MAFT
