Post Simple Modifications to turbo's...?

What would you guys consider a few of the simplest modifications you can do to a 944 Turbo and get back noticeable results?
My guesses were, in order of best to worst.
1) Chip
2) Straight pipe a.k.a. Downpipe?
3) Boost Enhancer
4) MAF
Someone enlighten me please...

deffinately chips!

The down pipes are a little difficult to remove. I wouldn't bother with the LRBE because I would just buy a more efficient wastegate. And MAF's are EXPNE$IVE!!!

1) chips

2) LBE I have to disagree with Luke(reluctantly) The $90.00 and ten minutes spent is the greatest return with the least hassle for any of the mods for our cars.

3) M030 sway bar kit and Weltmeister strut tower brace!!! If you want to modify and FEEL a difference this is a winner.

Have Fun

I never really felt the benifits of the LRBE because I mainly bought it to find out if my wastegate was broken. Since it was, the LRBE did nothing. I stepped up to the LR wastegate.

So I am biased on the LRBE issue

I too noticed a difference using the LBE. Boost -seems- to cut in about 300 rpm sooner.
