Buy in this order:

Oil Catch Can, Tune, Intake, Meth Kit, Charge Pipe, FMIC, DPs, Exhaust.

In regards to purchasing the "best" parts, do your own search. A war will erupt if people actually state opinions on the matter....

I take it the jb3/4 auto adapts to bolt on's instead of having to go to the dyno every time

Ah, but some of you guys need to remember that he's an XI.

Suspension should be much higher on the list, probably second after a tune.

More so than the other parts, do research when it come to tunes. Some are just boost controllers.

For tune i strongly recommend the procede v5 or Giac flash but do your own research and pick the one that fits best your needs.

Yes that is correct.

As a xi driver, one needs to change suspension among the first things, if not the first. I would think something like:

1) Suspension
2) Tune
3) Meth
4) OCC
5) Intak
6) Downpipes - and they are going to be a pain to install
7) FMIC
...

The only boost controllers available for the N54 are the JB+ and SSTT. The JB3 affects boost, fueling, and timing advance. We can debate whether the methods work well (although thousands of customers have already proven they do) but save the boost controller talk for a more naive crowd.
