upgrading engine parts. what else would i need?
i am thinking of doing some modifications so my engine. i have a few things in mind, to be honest i probably wont be able to afford them all at once. but i have an idea of what i would like. is there anything i'd need when doing the following mods
new turbo from an sti (cant remember the code
)
bigger injectors, which i would imagine would need a new fuel pump/pressure regulator?
decat pipe
ecu remap (would i need a new ecu)
i have a panel filter but would i need an induction kit?
can't think if theres anything else that i might need to get the best out of what i am getting. perhaps front mount intercooler but would i be ok for the time being on a standard one?

im running similar to NS04, but with aftermarket ecu (autronics) and different turbo.
imr unning just over 340bhp, standard internals, and injectors.
im at the limit so wouldn't push mroe than that, but i am runnign an uprated gearbox

Yep, all standard internals. I could go higher Bob assures me with the right turbo and careful mapping, but I think where I am now is sensible for the time being. Certainly a quick car at this level. Personally I'd leave it at no more than 350 and say a quiet prayer each day that the gearbox doesn't say cheerio. If it does, you're looking at 2 grand min for a 6speeder or nearer 3 grand for a PPG gearset.
