Default Your opinions requested.

I have some funds to put into the 951 and am trying to decide the options.
I have a budget of $1300. I will be installing the Lindsey WG, boost controller, AFPR, and KLA strut brace which leaves $~600.

My remaining choices are the 968 M030 Swaybars-$460 or Lindsey MAF upgrade-$500, and GT or AIR splitter.

I'm also considering the Lindsey exhaust at $650.

What are your opinions and recommendations?

De's are in the works. They are not being excluded from the budget.

you said boost controller? apexi or what? There's not much advantage over a manual boost controller, I wouldnt waste a few hundred bucks, just my .02. Ever thought of a Air flow converter, I spend 200 bucks on an apexi SAFC if I were you.

Well, from my exploits on the VFRlist you should know what I'll recommend. Anyone yahoo can punch it in a straight line (raw power), but it takes a proper setup and good skill to get arround a corner and that's really where the fun is, right? Put some of your budget into handling.

I've already done some suspension work. New struts with heavier spring and Koni sports. Don't think I'm neglecting the corners.

I just have a long list of wanted parts and I'm trying to prioritze (is that a word). The Lindsey WG, boost controller, and AFPR are a must as my WG is shot. I was thinking of getting the MAF upgrade to ensure the proper fuel mixture, or the M030s, or the exhaust (mild steel unit and have Jet-Hot coated).

Speaking of the N030s, how will they affect the handling with the rear in the middle position? Will it over or understeer compared to stock?

Are you still lurking around on the VFR board? I take a look every now and then. I'm about to do the suspension on the 750 soon (fork rebuild w/new .95kg/mm springs and have the Fox rebuilt with a heavier spring) as I've gained some weight over the years.
