next product to get after turbo?

Hi, I was wondering what would be the next best thing to get after the SF turbo (with all upgrades) under a $1000 budget.

I aleady got a Boost controller, timer, all the gauges etc.. And I dont want to do the internals for now. Clutch kit/flywheel are on a seperate budget. Therefore what else can I get that would improve/increase performance (HP)? I would prefer a bolt-on product.

I was thinking of that NX Ntercooler kit. Any opinions on that? Any other choices?

Thats not an option, coz where I live such services are not available. I can only buy something from US (online) and get it shipped to my place. Also, that something needs to weigh less.

I'd say go with the Emanage with ALL the harnesses, and the NX 5lb ntercooler kit, 10lb if it's for daily driving and not drag use.

I love 'em both.

Nops no dynos either ....

Yes Emanage would be execellent but only if I can get one pre-tuned. I already got the E-01 and a few harnesses coz I wanted to get an Emanage later. Is there any way to get it pretuned to run a certain amount of boost?

My car would be a daily driver and drag use on the weekends. I read somewhere that a 15lb ntercooler kit was on sale for $330 or something. Is that a good price?

How much would a 15lb bottle last? say how many quater mile drags?

Thanks!

well, you can't buy a piggy back "pre-tuned" b/c ppl have different mods.

a 15 lb bottle would prolly last you like 8-10 passes if not, more. Can you get it filled easily near you ??? You can use co2 or n2o

You could get the AEM gauge type UEGO and try to tune the Emanage yourself.

the ntercooler is definately a fun lil mod... im working on re-doing the tie-wraps though cuz for right now it looks a little iffy but it's not going anywhere...

I vouch for the ntercooler.

the nitto555 are good for drag a little and the azenis are great for auto x but kind of crappy for drag. I would do bridgestone potenza SO-3's or some crazy advans
