Default what stuff is under your hood?

i am going to list what i have done so far to my EP3 because i want people to reply with what they got to see what else i should get. tell me you opinions on stuff i dont have and if it is worth it or not.

-greddy stainless steel full catback exhuast
-rev hard turbo set running 10 psi and goodies that came with the kit (manifold etc.)
-550cc injectors
-apexi turbo timer
-apexi avc type-r boost controller
-aem fuel rail
-venom high volume fuel pump
-exedy stage 2 clutch
-ACT ultralight flywheel
-dc sports short shifter
-suspension has been done by previous owner, thats the only thing he had done, i got everything else i dont know if its factory or what
-k-pro stand alone system
-MSD ground cables for better spark and torque response
-dc sports titanium upper front strut bar
-konig reason rims (i know that really doesnt mean performance but they look cool lol)
-ventus low profile tires

soon to get by this summer:
-fully tuned by a pro shop in harrisburg
-wilwood front brake system
-venom recluse wet nitrous system

someday:
-LSD (not the drug....well....okay, not the drug)
-forged pistons
-body kit (scared it will get messed up from all the damn POT HOLES in this crappy town!

im pretty sure im not forgetting anything. is there anything anyone would suggest? please list what your EP3's got in them, everything not just engine i guess. i would like forged pistons, and some internals, but all i have found is pistons, nothing else, so im waiting to do internals.

Why are you planning the forged pistons? Lower CR so you can turn up the boost? What kind of numbers are you putting down right now? Are you running a "stock" program on your K Pro?

Thanks

well, yeah, eventually i want to increase my boost, bore the engine, basically make it so it can handle much more compression. but i dont want to buy the pistons until i have more internals so i can do it all at once.

o, i dont think i put this down, but i am interested in an AEM pulley kit. sucks though, cause every deal i find isnt the kit, its single pieces alone.

Why do you want it to handle more compression? You are running boost and soon you are going to spray, I would think you would want to lower your compression a bit and not raise it.

Oh and my sig is what I have done, plus a tiny bit more since not everything can fit.
