hey guys I cant decide what would be best so maybe you can help. .
I have a 400$ credit on jcwhitney.com and im gonna use it today but I cant decide what to get its either:

A Injen race division cold air intake (280$) and a turbo x's mbc (75$)

or just the pit bcu (320$) its an electronic boost controller, and a turbo timer all in one.

Please help me out I really cant decide what would be the best. . .

Thanks guys!!!

does a cai really help that much on a msp?

it does help a little bit, mostly gives you a loud ass turkey sound lol but it would be a waste to spend all that $ on an EBC...

n/p, too bad it wasnt $400 cash...I'd say go w/ an exhaust, that would be most beneficial...but I doubt JCwhitney carries one for the MSP

I would skip out on the expensive intake and just get a pipe with a K&N or whatever filter on it, and I have a Hallman boost controller (http://www.hallmanboostcontroller.com/) which I find to be very accurate. (I actuallt have the Evolution version which allows you to adjust the level in the car...very nice feature, but you pay for it) This will still leave you more money to buy a gauge or something. That's what I would do anyways.
