Question 1st Introduction

Hello everyone,
my name is Tom, I´m 20 years old and live in Germany. I have owned my 98´ NB for the past 3 years. I´m now at the stage, where I´ve done mostly everything on my list other than boosting it. So here I am looking for useful tips and tricks I could maybe use to get going faster.

Here´s a quick list of things I´ve already done to make it my own:
- Tein Street Advance Z
- Keskin KT1 in 16x9 +25 on 215/40 Hankook tires
- RX-7 FD Seats
- OE Spoiler and Front-lip
- Cybul Rollbar
- 4-point Takata Harnesses
- Magnaflow muffler
- IRP Short Shifter
and many more.

I´ve already started collecting parts for the upcoming winter season, which includes:
- RX-8 injectors (yellow)
- Garrett GT2554r .49 A/R
- Link G4X ECU

Just looking for cheap alternatives regarding cats and intercoolers. Also wondering whats your take on small bits I should get and maybe forgot.
Up on my list are still:
- Intercooler + piping
- stainless pipe for the downpipe
- Uprated clutch (thinking about the XTreme Stage 2)
- Fuel pump (450l/h)
- Lines for the turbo (water/oil)
- oil cooler
- Ofc a manifold (either a Kraken low mount or a TDO Performance Top mount)
- wideband sensor
- boost controller
- external gate (yeah ik the turbo is internally gated, its gonna get welded shut, cuz I want the rowdy screamer pipe)

What else can you guys think off?


Wheels are now silver btw
