Installing the MBC is one of the simplest things you can do. Perhaps you know someone who likes to get under the hood who will want to help if beer is provided. It is a 15 minute job if you make it drag out...
A low restriction exhaust is always good advice for increase boost. But note that Abbott ECU upgrades do not come with such cautions.
Your engine will be fine. Note that Abbott ECUs at higher pressures are safe with the engine.
You should get the K&N 33-2663 drop in filter. You should remove and clean it once a year or two.
You can remove the turbo compressor discharge silencer which is pressed into the 2" aluminum pipe that runs along the bottom of the rad. The throttle body discharge transition casting has a major design flaw that can be blended out with a 1" drum sander. See previous posts for details.
The stock air box needs to be modified. There are two different approaches to this.
So lots of DIY stuff that most people want. But that does not seem to be where you are at.
The basic controller is all that you need. The other is for higher boost pressures which you cannot get to anyways.
A good engine can be boost enhanced. An engine that is not in good condition should not be. That been said... I recommend Mobil 1 oil. Keep plugs and injectors clean.
