my first mod completed was the cutting of the dump tube. sounded like it made a huge difference while in my garage, but on the road it went back to barely any "woosh."

i really don't get why vfaq.com tells you to remove the intake tubing when you can just take off the cbv to intake tube connector off and remove the dump tube from there...it took me like 10 minutes to finish without removing the intake tubing.

i also order a k&n filter today so i'll put that on tomorrow. but i was wondering how do you make the intake from wobbling all over without the filter box. do i have to make my own braket?

next:
-new bov (probably with hard UICP)
-boost contoller w/boost guage
-255lph fp
-A/F ratio guage
(egt after new manifold from below items)

then after i pay for plates and get more money:
-3" exhaust
-S16g with ported manifold and install kit
-probably hahn SMIC with hard lower ICP
-lsd
-either 550cc or 625cc injectors
-safc
sound good so far?

now a few more questions
-am i safe with stock motor...can't it handle 450hp or so?
-do you recommend a new fuel rail?
-do you recommend a new intake mani?
-what is the size of a stock TB?
-and what does the fuel rewire kit do?(i know what is, but what does it benefit?)
-sorry for all the questions

thanks ALOT! for any advice.(besides search FOOLS!! :p )
