Well for me it was a spearco core. But that was with a 2 litre turbo Nissan, not a BMW.
Shop around for what you are comfortable with spending. People here love the ETS core, the VRSF 7" would be more than enough to keep you cool in the summer. But seriously, I wouldn't consider turning up the boost at all until I had a better FMIC. Many people on this forum will tell you that an intercooler should not be your first mod, but I disagree. From my experience, any piece of supporting equipment that is going to help your engine work more safely and more efficiently should be in place before you start altering the power levels beyond what was intended from the factory. Just make sure you actually bolt it into place after you install it or you'll run over it like I did to mine. Mike@x-ph is on this forum, he is a vendor and he is also in Las Vegas. He could probably give you some good info and some killer prices on mods.

Damn, ran it over huh? aint that a bitch. I plan on getting everything done at once, it will cut down my install prices. Also, i dont have time to take it to shop 3-5 times getting stuff installed. BUt FMIC was def on my list. I cant seem to find the VRSF FMIC instock anywhere, so i might have to go a different route. |

Bang for your buck to make a nicely rounded car:
Power: JB4, downpipes and intakes Suspension & brakes: Reasonably priced coilovers (ST, KW v1, PSS9) Subframe bushings Upgrade pads Maintenance: Carbon cleaning, fluids, waterpump. Should leave you a small amount of cash for misc little mods. |

Jb4 + VRSF DP + ER FMIC ( you get free ER CP with it ) + BMS DCI + Exhaust (AA,VRSF,ETS,AFE)
This takes you to FBO + Exhaust for way under 3500$

FBO = Full Bolt On's. ie: everything one can possibly change on the engine to make more power.

After you get to FBO the next steps for power involve some more serious wrenching and some semi-serious compromises in some cases. Although technically turbos "bolt on" to their manifolds, they are considered an upgrade that is beyond the "bolt-on" category. Obviously a cam would be considered greater than bolt-on, as would a head flow, an increased bore or stroke, pistons, etc. If you know all this already just kick me.
