If you get an exhaust, a 2.5" should be fine for the 14b without getting boost creep. If you get a 3" (which I suggest you do if you ever expect to get a bigger turbo), you will have to port the shit out the wastegate hole and the exhaust housing to avoid debilitating creep. Getting a 3" turbo back is perfectly fine as long as you do the prt work at the same time.
Also, the ACT 2600 is a tried and true flywheel/clutch set-up, but if you rag on the car using that 2600 to launch the car fairly often, keep in mind that the tranny is going to give up the ghost, and perhaps you'll want to save up for a new one (from Shepherd I might add). They are awesome for getting the power to the ground, but the weak stock tranny can only take so much. The only reason I say this is beause people often throw in the 2600 and then take the car to the track every weekend, shred their tranny in a month, and wonder "why the car sucks so much". The stock tranny is the car's weak point.
BTW, Jeff_99gs and I live in Rockville, so I'd like to see the car one day since it looks to be in such good shape. Are you around MD (Frederick) often?
