These are the parts I have but are not installed: Ported Evo 3 02 housing, 2g manifold ported on the outlet to 7cm, i also have a dsmlink coming to me in the mail soon.

The parts that I am considering are: PLX M-250 w/gauge, Walbro 250lhp and the rewire kit, Aeromotive afpr and the install kit with underhood gauge, 660cc injectors, Dejontool Evo3 downpipe(EDP-1gB), dejontool straight pipe exhaust with extra muffler(EXH-1gB), and finally the M.H.I. Evo 3 16g. of corse i'd order all necessary gaskets and such.

Now that i read this i realize i'd probably have to buy a new clutch. I only trust ACT so i'd get the 2600 and keep the stock flywheel.

The car i have has a little over 190k miles the head was rebuilt recently by the previous owner, i was wondering about the stock bottom end but i think i'll be good because i know it can handle a fair amount of power.

My goals for this car are to have 300-350whp Reliably.
The evo 16g setup is a nice street turbo. It is very proven, but to get it to 300whp, even on a dynojet, takes a bit of work.
I haven't trusted ACT's for about 3 years now. I am unsure on their products, but "back then" they went to junk.
Your walbro shouldn't need to be rewired until 400+whp (dynojet).
Pretty much go over this list:
Fuel mods to suppport power? check
intake? check
exhaust? check
intercooling?
drivetrain?
health of the vehicle?
suspension would be nice, as your car has 190k on it and probably handles like shit.
Brakes are also an upgrade that I rarely see on peoples priority list.
