JR before you upgrade turbo/IC, you need a Down Pipe to couple to your existing turbo/Catback and a tune to make more power...do you have a DP yet? you do realise that the CatBack system you are buying doesn't include the DP with high flow cat?

Now I just need to decide what to do next. I can upgrade turbo + IC or get a good suspension and wheel setup happening in the next week. My heart says turbo my head says suspension.

Yep, that's why it's a catback and not a turboback.

I have an ultrex downpipe with a high flow cat, it should mate up as it uses the same mounting holes as the stock downpipe.

Spend the money and go suspension setup next.
Then get some seat time in learning how to drive the car to its (and your) limits to see how it reacts.
THEN start adding in the power.

Yeah this is how I will do things, I just keep drooling over TD05s and the like.

Next thing is to look into what suspension setup I want, lots of pros and cons for coilovers on a predominantly street car so I'll have to look into that to see what I want. Maybe good struts + springs.
