Congrats man! But if you would like to make a smarter decision for the first mods, I would recommend searhcing the forums before you throw down some big bucks for a FMIC.

looks like a nice lil' project

I'd have to agree:

Pre-requisites:
Head Machining
Block Machining
Metal Head Gasket
ARP Head Bolts

Initial:
Boost Gauge
Intake
Exhaust/Turbo Elbow
Boost Controller
Blow Off Valve (7M BOV's fail WAY too frequently)
Hard Pipes
Intercooler

For greater than 12psi:
VPC/FCD/eManage/Other Fuel Cut removal device
Walbro Fuel Pump
550cc Injectors & Lexus AFM (Or similiar Maft Converter, VPC, Etc.)
S-AFC/Fuel Control
Fuel Control/Wideband

Something more like that order...

if anythign over the next 3 years + of driving this, i would only want maybe max 300 at the wheels.nothing big.

You'll need to run 10-12psi to hit 300.
