feedback on what mod next???

I just bought an 03 mcs a few months ago and i am wondering what mods to do next. I bought the car with a ALTA CAI, 15% reduction pulley, UniChip Pnp, milltek header and exhaust, rear sway bar, and i recently put on an MSD ignition with magnecor wires and colder plugs. I also have a DTBPV in a box waiting to be installed but i want to get a few more parts and just pay the installation all at once.
I was looking at some intercoolers but i heard they take away from the low end and mid range rpm which i dont want. also, i was looking at the mini-madness intake manifold or a new head
Any thoughts on the mods to get me some more hp''s and better low end tq?

Hi Nicko,

Where you located? How do you find the UniChip, is that the one made by Dastek? Any problems with it?

Plus One.

Might also think about a Jan Tune, local for you, to really make all the hardware work with the software. A Jan Tune will make the chip seem unless IMHO.
