What next? Mods?
Got my FMIC and catless DP done with manic stage 2. My next big purchase items are meth injection and new rims and tires. ( But those will probably be next year)
My build is geared tword a fun weekend car. May track it a few times.
What are some of your upgrade ideas?

GoFastBits DV+..because you already said "meth"..maybe 3" exhaust for giggles and extra "**** the neighbors off" factor
*DV+ holds vac much better than stock diverter; builds and dumps boost quicker. Its cheap insurance and performance in one.. takes ~20min to change out the stock unit.
Other than that.. what do you consider cheap? Is spending +150$/month on fuel so I can mix 100oct in every tank.. too expensive? My 'inexpensive tweak' is keeping the engine in prime condition, with fresh oil/filter every 3k or less and plugs 10-15k. I actually dread the day I decide to do more than the tune and DP..because I will probably pamper it more. Ive no idea if my wallet can stomach that just yet lol.

I'm somewhat new to these turbo accessory type mods. So whats the difference between a DV = diverter valve vs. a Forge Recirculating Valve ?

DV = diverter valve
Push air back into the system
bOV = blow off vavle
Pushes air to atmosphere
Generally diverter valves are for cars that run map sensors
They also helps spool the turbo faster
Blow-off valves usually run on speed density
But you can mix and match
Diverter valve and recirculation valve is the same thing just different names

also..
the DV replaces the parts of the OEM valve unit which can fail, but retains the rest of the unit and stock functionality. It actually mechanically improves the OEM design, without performing any difference in functionality (it builds and holds boost quicker/stronger but there is no change in operation) air still vented to atmosphere.
The Forge unit completely replaces the OEM diverter. No part of the OEM unit is retained. Functionality is the same; exception is that purged boost pressure is recirced back into the intake tract. This can help reduce over-rich conditions from purging to atmosphere (like the OEM unit does).
DV+ is a direct swap
Forge unit requires installing the recirc tube and boost tap
