I should add that I have no intention of upping the boost of my ride until all the motor becomes the slowest aspect of the car on the track. I doubt that will happen for a while. I'm more into getting the brakes and traction up to par as I would think those are the limiting factors of this car.

That said, do I need upgraded FMIC, charge pipe, or down pipes right away?

Also, referring to my question about my brakes- is it normal for them to feel pretty spongy compared to other cars, or do I likely have some air in my lines?
