Its the stock greddy kit so its not that powerful, but when i got tuned it put down 260.9 whp and 203.4 wtq at 5.5 psi on the dyno...however i am getting a boost controller, accessport, bhr ignition upgrade, and the bnr greddy turbo upgrade next so once i install that and get retuned im hoping for well over 300 wheel

It def looks like you are headed in the right direction. Throw some coilovers on there too. Otherwise it looks nice so far.
You're not alone, lol I just turned 20 last week and spent nearly all my money from last summer till now on my car. My neighbors get scared everytime I start my car lol...

No brake upgrade? More HP needs more brake power. Stock brakes work great with a good set of pads, SS lines and fresh clean fluid. A BBK isnt needed unless you are running race tires and pushing the car hard on the track, even then you dont always need it.
For the suspension, I suggest starting with a good set of sway bars, I love the progress tech adjustable bars, great product and superb value. They will drasticly improve handeling with very little negitive effect on ride quality.
Dont cheap out with the springs/struts, it will just cost more in the long run. If you plan on tracking the car, coilovers are the way to go. IMHO you want something that is rebuildable with seperate compression and rebound adjustments and of course corner balance the car.

nice corbeaus. keep up the good work, looks like your big pimpin in highschool
On a suspension note does anyone have any input on coilovers they have now that they just love, cause like i said suspension and brakes is what i am trying to work on now
Thanks everyone
