Yes an 02 housing to finish your turbo back exhaust, pump cause when you turn the boost up I think 99% of the tuners will not turn up the boost that much without one, and LICP and a very good tune.

If you want to bolt on a FP Red turbo go ahead just let us know what your tuner says to you it might sound something like this. No turbo upgrade would do you any good without the supporting cast of mods FIRST! If you put that turbo on your car right now and tune it I will say you will make the same amout of HP you have no and a stupid slow spool time. I think I have said the same things over and over again so I will try a different way what is your budget your working with? Or can you give us a reasonable HP goal you want?

Thanks for trying to help, I do appreciate it. I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to find the best next mod: The most whp to the $$$.

Got it, stay away from that idea without additional mods to support a larger turbo. Noted.

Don't kill my buzz, man. I just rolled over 2200 miles and I'm bolting on everything but a new turbo (wanna wait for a BBK/Green for the X).

I'm not sure if it possible on 91 oct. Even if you did all the mods I suggested you would still be short of 400 you would need to add meth. Damn you OP I said realistic HP. If money is no object then get everything I mentioned. That's ruffly about 3k in parts minus what you already have. Get an o2 housing($110), fuel pump($100), and 3.5 IC kit like from ETS($980). Looking over everything even with injectors you still won't make much hp 91oct is killing you hp goals. Those 3 mods with your current mods should bring you in the 330-350 range. I think the most I have seen on pump gas with a 9 is 370 but that is using 93-94oct.

Sorry but that is best I can do....the rest I'm going to have to be a jerk and say search NOOB

Don't forget about the FP Black

A local shop did exactly that as a test...bolted a Red on a new X that was otherwise stock (exhaust and all). He had 40hp without a tune and a bit more after (he figures the cat was the problem). If you have a test pipe and an intake then the fuel system will be your next limitation. We've also seen guys get that same 40hp just by switching to E85.

After you get the power you'll smoke your clutch. lol. Like the guys were saying, it is a game of dominoes once you start.

I dont mean to be a prick but seriously??? You are going to have to bite the bullet and buy the supporting mods that may not add horsepower directly such as a fuel pump.

Without buying everything on the list and more you will never reach that goal...and that includes an intake, but since you cant get everything now make a lower goal and keep going up from there if you want immediate gratification.....otherwise wait and get everything together. It sucks but tis life my man.

I just threw that number out there to be honest. 400 awhp was arbitrary.

I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the mod list and find out which one is the most power for the money. It appears that I've already ran out of single upgrades for power and must buy a laundry list of parts to pick-up more power.

Can everyone in here just listen to me especially the OP look at the sig I think I know what I'm doing and speaking about. Get an o2 housing, fuel pump, and MBC and a good tune and you will have about 330hp
