For the money, it will be hard to beat an increase in boost and fuel delivery as a means of getting more power and torque. APC modifications would be the first course of action and try to reach a safe 18 psi with your stock turbocharger.
If your looking for a best gain per dollar, I can tell you that you will be throwing away $$ with the add-on aid, big bore throttle body, and 3" exhaust. Been there, done that. They may produce some gains but nothing as dramatic as a simple boost increase. Turbocharger and cylinder head may be your next step after the APC and only then will the larger exhaust and bbtb make a noticable difference.
Talk to SPG9 or Swedish Dynamics as they seem to have a handle on a logical next step.
I've bought every upgrade ever made for my 1989 9000T rally car and I wish I found a site that speaks the truth like SD's, etc. before spending all of my $$ on add-on placebo items that only produced a hole in my wallet.
