My goal is to stick with the stock turbo and intercooler. I really just want to make it as responsive as possible, faster than the average stock car, and be as fuel efficient as possible.
You can have one of the three.

Yeah, I know I'm dreaming. Earlier this summer I was driving the and Talon got passed by a 350Z with a few stickers (it probably had an intake and a cat-back), but I didn't start anything because I didn't know I could win. I didn't know...(dramatic pause) I just want be able to handle something like that. I know it won't be a 13 second car or anything.

As far as fuel efficiency, I opened up the intake and exhaust on my last car, and I ended up getting better mileage than stock. I was hoping that would be the case with this car, too. Is that an unrealistic goal?

Aslong as you aren't driving more agressively you should see better highway fuel mileage.

Your plans for the car will really make it feel different, and actually add a nice amount of HP/Tq. I'd also recommend a different blow off valve, considering the stock 2G plastic one leaks boost (1st Gen DSM valve works great, or maybe a Greddy Type S/HKS).

That thing will get into the 13's easily. IC pipiing or FMIC, SAFC, exhaust, K&N, boost controller and you are there. Is it FWD? Then you might need DR's to do it.

JET, I'm sure this has been beaten to death in some places, but can you explain to me breifly why IC piping adds power? Is it just because it doesn't flex (like a rubber brake line)?

Larger piping= more flow, just like opening up the exhaust. Bigger IC just cools the air better to prevent detonation.
