Default Wrx Mods 2000 gc8

Hello People's,
I searched through the forum and am undecided what hp mods i should do next.
I have currently:
vf34,autronic,fmic,pod, and 3" zorst

I ran a 12.9 with these mods and hope to get down to low 12s eventually. I have a bosch 044 fuel pump paid for and will get injectors soon, maybe 650cc. After this I have about 2k to more to spend. What would you do next?

Thanks
lady's and gents

- Silicon Intake
- Proper cold air intake (APS or similar)

Perhaps then look at suspension modifications. 22mm rear sway bar, HD end links, whiteline anti lift kit.

Also, factor in a retune if fitting silicon intake and CAI.

Should go nicely.

remember to make sure that u upgrade the brakes and/or handing with the increase of power, nothing worse that having a faster/more powerful car and not being able to stop fast enough

More boost, decent tune.

If that doesnt work, whack on a TD06 or something else of that size.

Thanks so far for your responses
Have currently got 193kwatw running 18psi.
The suspension has also been done along with slotted front disks.
Have looked at the aps silicone intake and cai looks good.
Internals???, I'm guessing a rebuild with stronger internals would be closer to 4-5K than 2k, as this is what i have to spend.
TD06-could I run this turbo using std internals on say 18psi, and gain alot of power?

Thanks again people

You will gain more power using the TD06 at the same boost.

I guess you could sell your old turbo to pay for silicon intake and use the left over for tuning. Should see you another 20 odd kw at the same boost. Then start saving for injectors.

Or you could put injectors and silicon intake in now and give it a good tune. Blaise managed 215kw atw from RA using a vf34.

Dark blue line - VF22
Light blue line - TD06

Less peak boost with the TD06, 20kw more at the wheels.
