Yeah your best bet is to get an up-pipe first before anything. It will increase boost by about .5 lb by its self and it will increase spool up about 300 RPM's. The next mod would really depend on how far you are planning to go with your car and what came on your car. If your planning to mod it half way decent than a boost gauge would be next, unless you got one from the factory. If so time to move to an egt gauge. Then a down pipe or boost controller would be next. I down pipe would increase spool up and HP, So would the boost controller. A BOV will work fine on you car its just that during shifts the ECU normally would see a boost in air because of the recycler type dump valve that’s is stock. The ecu is set to dump slightly more fuel at that time to comp for it. When you change to an atmosphere type BOV the air goes out side and the fuel is dump for nothing cause you to run lean for a brief second. To be straight up with you don't waste your money on it...yet. Get a cat-back after that and you should be good. I recommend that you get an "utec or =" if you plan on modding any further because any thing else you add you wont really see any true power until you can play with the fuel and timing maps. Good luck and feel free to PM me for any question you might have.
