get the motor running stock then upgrade from there. I believe the most common upgrages are FMIC, bov, fuel pump, and SR T25.

No, the only ones that are cost efective are SSAC ones, and they have yet to be endurance tested. Plus, the stock one flows fine. Look into a SR T25G. I have one, and it is a little laggy, but at the 10psi I am running now, I should be around 200rwhp. Make sure and pick up some gauges straight away. My first mod on my CA was a fuel pump. After that it was a boost gauge, followed by a turbo timer. I then bought a turbo back exhaust. After that, I purchased a ARC intercooler and hard pipes, but you already have that, so forget it LOL. Next up on my to do list (after Xmas shopping) is a new water pump, oil cooler, and koyo rad. Then, headgasket, 2G DSM blue top 440cc injectors, a reflashed EPROM, a Z32 MAF, and a SAFC. After that, all that is really left is a G/T28/R in some flavor.
