Are you still running stock sidemount intercooler? If so you will want to upgrade the intercooler anyways, it depends what levels of boost you are planning on running too.

You will want to upgrade your injectors, you will need to get your ecu reprogrammed or get a piggyback for the injectors. Get a manual boost controller/electronic boost controller and turn up the boost to around 1 bar. That should get you up to around 250whp.
