Go TBE+tune for now.
Then look at changing turbo as an alternative to headers...then later do headers to get more power out of it.

A Blouch Dominator 1.5xtr (if you can afford it) should do the trick really well after the tbe+tune...
Thats where I'm thinking I might invest in with mine... or an AVO/Tomei turbo as cheaper options

Headers or turbo first :-/ I can't decide either

I'm starting to think turbo then headers later to extract more power as you'll always be limited by the stock turbo even with bigger headers.

Research the interweb, lots of info out there on combos that have been tried.
