How are you seeing 25psi of boost when the factory MAP sensor maxes out at 23psi (1 bar sea level, 1.5bar boost)? Or are you living up on a mountain somewhere so the pressure ratios are different?

Guess i'll post my current setup and future goals.

Current:
42DD Turbo Back exhaust
Cobb Big SF Intake
GFB DV+
034 Street Density Motor Mounts

Future:
ECS Pendulum (Have, installing this weekend)
HPA 75A Puck (^)
BFI Stage 4 Clutch
Peloquin LSD
iAbed RMS (Have, waiting for clutch and LSD)
Fluidampr Crank Pulley
Turbo Outlet Pipe (Spulen probably)
Charge Pipe (CTS or Neuspeed probably)
ETS Mitsubishi Intercooler
Aquamist HFS-4
Stratified Pro tune

This is all just to prepare for eventual big turbo setup with a goal of 450whp.

Edit: Any recommendations or change advice welcome.

I had to replace the spulen T.O.P fitment issues, had a massive boost leak where it coupled with my Intercooler. Went with the hi Flo neuspeed one, no more boost issues.

good to know... are they like stiff? to be expected since they look pretty 'thin' on the cushioning side of things. do the support areas feel kind of bulky though or pretty natural?

I have the OEM leather seats right now and they are really tight on my torso on the main back bolsters.
