Default Holy sh*t, forgot about how much

new spark plugs kick ass. I was having minor intermittent hesitation issues, subpar idle quality. So after trying everything else, I figured I'd try some new BPR7EIX ngk's. Needless to say, everything is back running like a champ, feels like I picked up big time mid range. So I decided to turn the boost back up to around 23psi (spike holding 22ish), overshot a little, car pings pretty good holding 24psi

Guess it's time for a Walbro and a tune... and cams

define "stage 1" ? If you're just getting started, I guess that means turbo back exhaust and things like that. If so, you're in for a lot of fun!

45k miles
Helix DNA intake
JDM diverter valve
Nisei lower intercooler pipe
mbc
turbo back exhaust with test pipe
Jestr Flash
new spark plugs
Stock clutch

Also have Tanabe Se7en coilovers and other things. Car's a riot, there's probably faster out on the road, but I'm not concerned about that. Make it quick and fun to drive, stay reliable, those are what I'm interested in

well i already have GSC 272's. I also have a Megan o2 housing to install, and need to pick up either a 10.5 exhaust housing (to replace the 03/04 9.8 housing) or IX turbo. Also have AMS FMIC yet to be put on

The o2 is a bitch to change out. Do yourself a favor and reuse the stock gasket. I had to take my megan o2 back off and put the stock one back on. It leaked not matter what i did. When I took it off, I found that there was a hole in the gasket between the 2 layers.

Those are the same cams I am looking at, but for the IX.
