Default recommendations for reliable stage 2 protune setup

I've decided to get protuned by Gadiel May 16. Based on the mods I have in my sig, I am asking for any recommendations for other mods to have a "complete" reliable stage 2 protune setup.

I've thought about the APS turbo inlet as well as some sort of intake. Thoughts on either of these? Other suggestions? Thanks guy

mbc (why? cause gadiel loves'em), fmic, intake, fuel pump, and meth

other things to consider but will benefit with bigger turbo, and not have too much effect on stock turbo power wise:
inlet, headers, ewg, injectors

My current pending mod list is:

APS turbo inlet hose
HOA subaru 3 port bcs
Walbro 255 FP

I don't want to do a FMIC for 2 reasons: (1) more turbo lag and (2) have read it's useless unless you're running an upgraded turbo, so why spend the money?

All in all, this needs to be an extremely reliable quick car. I use is as my DD like many of you guys.

I would go with a prodrive bcs, or a grimmspeed.

I love my Grimmspeed BCS, probably didnt take full advantage of it but the quick tune I did for my current setup (td04, tbe, pnp headers) I got a faster spool and held boost a bit longer. Probably could have done more with it but I have a new setup coming up this weekend (Vf39/Sti Tmic)... I think Josh at import image sells them for about 90 shipped... its a super easy install (plug and play) but I wouldnt install it until you are at your place where you are going to tune (it will only take 20 mins to do tops)

2-3 hrs in an STi and stay out of boost? That could be difficult
