    just think that boostcontroller looks so clean and cool in the gaugecluster. oem looking. +it has a bunch of other functions since it comminicates with the ecu.

    Maximize your current setup before moving on. If your turbos flow a combined 70lbs/min, shoot for close to 700 whp, if they flow 60 lbs/min, shoot for 600 etc.

    My philosophy is to keep as much stock as possible when building a car. Only replace the the parts that are not adequate. Aftermarket parts can be a DOWN GRADE from stock sometimes. Oem parts have better testing and reliability. Pick and choose wisely.

    your list in my opinion lookes great for the most part. My only major concern was the fans as they have a high failure rate.

    Im not trying to sound like an ass here but that would make you the first person to have better results with the fal over stock. Mine felt like it moved a lot more air than it really did. The fal fans seemed to swirled the air around more in the engine bay and pull less through the radiator than the stock fans do. But if it works for you great I was only putting in a word of caution as to my personal experiences.

    The extra under hood heat created from the extra power gained over stock may be the reason my fal fans were slowing down. Just keep an eye on them.
