I have been reading other posts and have another question. When I get the 74mm throttle body, shout I also get another MAF elbow and housing or use the OEM elbow and housing.
Thanks

If you are going to install a NW CAI, you will not use the elbow or MAF/IAT housing.

Thanks, Carl, I think you are right.
It was a response to my response to his response.
I'm getting a headache.

other suggestions : 74 mm throttle body ( do this before the EC tune )

as to exhaust, nothing there for additional HP, just whatever floats yer boat sound-wise.
I have the OBX catback ( Chinese Borla ripoff ) and I'm happy with that on my roadster.

Go for the borla knock off!

Re: Advice for upgrades

Unfortunately, it seems no sells the OBX Racing stainless steel one anymore, all you can get now is a black painted steel one.
It's a shame, I've had mine on for over 2 years now, and it still looks brand new !

I have not had the chance to order one as of yet. I will still do that when I get the chance.

Re: Advice for upgrades

Any idea how much that throttle gives more power and what it does to fuel usage?

Re: Advice for upgrades

You may want to consider a Sprint Booster to eliminate the throttle lag. I recently added to my car and it makes a big difference. It doesn't add hp but opens the throttle faster for a given amount of pedal movement. I know there has been spirited discussions on here in the past about it but I doubt that anyone who has actually tried it can say they don't want it. Car is much more responsive and fun to drive.
