I say hotpipe/bov recirculated.
hes only giving me like 300-400 because hes also financing me for my SR swap. My moms also gonna give me money for grad. but i dont know how much. I might go with HKS SSQV BOV/Hotpipe w/ Recirc kit and Blitz Boost and Oil Pressure gauges.
at 15 psi your whole system is at/past its limits
pushing it on a t25
pushing it on the side mount
pushing it on the stock bov (acutally, i cant confirm this, but this is my guess)
pushing it on your 370cc fuel injecotrs
way overdone on your shot ka fuel pump
thats all i can think off right now.

Stock SR turbo gives out at like 12-14 psi if i'm not mistaken.
ok. i was just using 15 because heavy throttle says you can run 13-15 psi safely with the t25. I guess there wrong. Also i will have a Walbro Fuel Pump too. Sorry i forgot to list it. Ill do that now. ive heard of the stock BOV leaking past 10 but i really dont know this either. There so many things to get and not enough money. Maybe some suspension upgrade. I really need to toss the GR2/S-tech shit in the trash and get coilovers now.

First off, to hell with what everyone else gets for graduation. I got $220 from my parents to go o the beach for Senior Week. Did I cry? Hell no, I was thrilled.
As for what parts you should get, I would recommend oil and boost gauges first, then maybe a boost controller. Save the rest (if any), and get a FMIC kit, hotpipe, BOV down the road all at the same time.
Good luck, and congrats on your upcoming graduation!

Would cams be a good mod to get at this point or would i need extra upgrades to really make them do there job? I was thinking of HKS Stage 1 264 intake/exhaust cams.
If i went with suspension i would probably go with the Megan Racing Coilovers for $900. They seem good and would definitly do the job of street/some track driving.

stage 1 cams are ment for just that...a near stock setup...a slightly more flowing turbo (s15t28 maybe) would help the issue a little bit but they can be used w/ a completely stock motor and u will see gains (@ least i know this is tru on a ca- also this is w/ the but dyno and not actual number...but 264 tomei cams on a stock ca > stock cammed ca ALL DAY) also im not sure about megan racing coilovers...to each is own i guess

well im graduating also and i got a computer. no complaints, i need it for college. But if i were you and you are at 300-400 i would get bov/hotpipe, and if anything left over manual boost controller (electronic not needed at your point) and raise boost to 10 on SMIC. Then save up for FMIC.
