You currently have a 13g turbo in there. A 16T would be a good upgrade. However as said above an ECU upgrade will be needed. Why? Bigger turbo, your going to want to gain the most from it and a MBC just wont cut it. An ECU upgrade will be needed. Also a 3" mandrel bent downpipe to a 2.5" to 3" mandrel bent catback system with a free flowing straight through design muffler. Add a K&N panel filter in there and your good to go.
ECU tuners = IPD USA, RICA, BSR PPC These are the best and I wouldn't settle for less.
I personally doubt your tax return will cover all of it.

Awesome
I already have the straight through muffler and K and N style cold air. As far as 2.5" plumbing i can have my fab guy do it for free parts only if he doesn't have it laying around for him to mock somthing up. So a 3" downpipe is on my list, 16T turbo, ECU tune, MSD Ignition Coil, IPD performance Spark Wires, HD Turbo Control, Iridium Spark plugs. If that cant get me up to where i want ill be upset.. Especially when i lined up today to see what kind of power i have against a Saturn Ion Redline i lost by 3rd Gear he started pullin on me pretty even other than that. Im pretty sure i had alot more miles on my turbo and engine that sit now at 194K miles!

Price out:
Turbo $440
Ignition $100
Down Pipe $150 EBAY
ECU ??? price after i do mods

If i was you id find me a T5 ECU instead of paying big bucks for tune. 16T, T5 ECU and exhaust you can get from ebay made by OBX for $350. And also bigger injectors from T5.
