What next for me?
I don't know what to do next. Modifications are in my signature in order of installation. I am going to keep the stock turbo. Not looking to go for cams. I would guess going back for another Ivey tune would be the next step, but then what? Injectors? Fuel pump? Ivey had mentioned bigger injectors when I was there last, but I have done some reading and I don't know what the benefit, if any, they would be. Ideas would be great. Thanks.

Are you sure you didn't get a 3-port with the tune you have? A lot of tuners will put one on anything they tune to control boost better. If you're gonna stay with stock turbo, I doubt you would get much from injectors, cams or fuel pump. You actually seem to have a pretty solid setup...

Also injectors might not be a bad idea... I got mine for future setup, but stock ones were not being consistent at high rpms, so me and my tuner assumed the injectors were running out of breath . So i bit the bullet and got a wally 255 and FIC 1100's.
Im in the say boat as you with E85 though...only if they were closer

On the stock turbo, there isn't much else you can do without spending a lot of money for minimal gain. You can get a full intake setup which may get you another 10hp if you have the rest of the bolt-ons which it seems you do.
In my opinion, a 3 port isn't going to get you any more power. It may help regulate your boost better, but it's a minimal change and not likely to gain power. If you are running other fuel with high boost, then a 3-port may be worth it. Ask the guys at Ivey though to be sure for your setup.
Once you have all the bolt-ons there is not much left to do on the stock turbo. It's either cams or other fuel like E85 or meth injection. I ran meth before and can talk to you more about it if you want. I may even end up running it on this car in the future since E85 is scarce in our area.
That's my suggestion if you really want to stay on the stock turbo. You can just add meth without upgrading injectors or fuel pump even. Just ask Ivey, they have some good kits and can install it for you. Should net you 30-40hp and tq.
