Somebody needs to turn off the caps lock!!! J/K Bryan (sp?).
Kuhmo 712's are awesome for handling on dry tar but suck on wet tar. I had a set on my 93 and raced it at St. Cloud. I did everything I could to get it to break the tires loose in the corners but to no avail. They squalled like crazy but never let loose. They are a very soft compound and very cheap.
Terina got some Conti-Extreme Contact's on her 92 and she loves them!! They were something like $88 each, mounted and balanced. You may find them a slight bit cheaper in the magazines but you have to add the shipping charges as well.
I have Potenza RE910's on mine and they've been great. They are about $100-110 a piece. I've heard good things about the Yoko's as well.

a good suspention set up will help w/launching, theres other things you can add to like slicks/lsd but it depends on your plans/attatchment to the car and most of all $$$
If you're on a budget....
Cut the air box...
Remove the fog lights (if you got em) to open up a path to the IC
Open up the Boost Control Solenoid (BCS)
Gut the Cat
There's a few other free mods
If it's not a daily... talk to raptor about weight reduction

Doh, My Bad!!!
Any of the upgrades people mentioned here are a good starting point for your "Fricken Laser"
Good luck on the buy and happy modding

Leave the blow off valve alone... That upgrade is for ricer boys like me... and I don't even have a turbo... Work on moving air... then fuel... then manage the two so you don't blow your car up... I just talked to a kid from WI who used a hammer to smash the BOV, then used an MBC and tried to tune 15lbs to the stock psi meter... Can you say head gasket... dumbass... Anyway... If you want some decent speed at a good price, talk to Chur or Raptor... That's where I would start... But you have come to the right place... There are plenty of good brains to be tapped here... Just keep asking questions...

Yea, stick with that BOV, if you don't have a DSM like me, you have to go out of your way to get a 1g DSM BOV
