Turbo Question
Ok so I just happed to come across $700 and want to make some power but the question is what do I invest in that wont require a large amount of tunning? I dont have EM so my first idea was UTEC but I dunno...
How about a upgraded turbo ... ?
Currently have TBE, Boost Controller...
lemme know

Wouldnt you need some fuel mods to run an upgraded turbo as well? At least a fuel pump and injectors. Unless you can find all of that used, idk if you can do a new turbo for only $700. Plus I would never run a new turbo with no EM. Get the UTEC. Or give me the $700. Your call.
Start with some form of EM. This should net you another 25whp with your current mods, while being safer than just a MBC. Then move onto turbo, injectors, intercooler, etc. I hope you have gotten rid of the catted uppipe as well.

There's always the Cobb AccessPort. Most websites [Gruppe-S, RallySportDirect, etc.] sell them new and shipped for $595. That can leave the rest of the cash that you have for either a lightweight crank pulley [non-underdriven preferrably] or some intercooler hoses.
With your turbo-back, you can have 225awhp/285hp at the crank. And, if you ever plan on doing VF34, injectors, pump, they have premade maps for that too.
Cobb AccessPort Map List <-click for more 411
A lot of people are happy with how simple this is to use, a little moe plug&play than other EM systems out there. Also, they have the StreeTuner which is a more comprehensive tuning tool to fine-tune for other mods down the road. And if you're not happy with the AccessPort after a while, you'll more than likely get most of your money back if you sell it.
Hope all this is decent food-for-thought...

As mild as you keep your boost, I'd think that's just asking for grenading of motors.
I could be wrong, but I don't think its worth the risk. Plus, for the money you'll probably be spending, you're not getting the full potential of the upgraded turbo.
