Procure the services of Defastest 951's business. For $5000 you might even get a ride in the car.

Why invest for later when you could blow it now?

you still running standard injectors?

Boost guage and wideband make sure it stays together.

Dual port wastegate and ebc.

Sticky rubber.

I would do bilstein escort cup coilovers, 968 M030 sway bars (might go with a 951 M030 26.8 sway in the front though), boost gauge, injectors, wideband, vitesse maf, tial 38mm wastegate, and lindsey 3" exhaust

edit: I just reread your post and realized that I may have misunderstood; is that current list of mods a list of mods that you have, or your current list of mods that you plan on buying with this $5k?

To me:

I would go with a Vitesse Racing MAF, injectors, chip/boardset, SMT 6 software
Lindsey or SFR 3" exhaust, MC, and DPWG.

Best way to spend it? Easy, go get a money order for 5 grand, drop it in an envelope. Send it to this address...
