Default classic scooby mod advice

I am looking to all you scooby experts for some advice, i have recently bought myself a 1995 Impreza WRX, it has the following mods allready done,

Mocal front mounted intercooler

Forge alloy header tank

HKS induction kit

Greddy dump valve

HKS dragon exhaust from turbo back

boost and air/fuel mixture gauges

I am looking at doing some more mods but don't know where to start and have not got a lot of money to do them so i was hopeing someone could tell me the best and cheapest mods to do on my Impreza, for example some are saying Dawes Device boost controller but others are saying that they just damage your turbo etc, any help would be excellent.

Thanks
Dan.

wouldn't use a generic map if you paid me, way to risky for the level of tune you have, a tek 3 map is by far the best option, more expensive, but takes away the risk

The live mapping one is anyway. As said don't get a generic map. Your looking at 500 ish for live one.

isn't that an Ecutek map?
Which means it won't be suitable for the early ecus.

no, tek 3 refers to the level of map, as in how tailoured tot he car it is, tek 3 is full custom, tek 2 is a generic. doesn't refer to the system used for mapping (which ecutek is)
