how long will you be deployed?? bc if its going to be more than just a couple months, just wait and save the money and by time you get back im sure there will be even more parts to choose from.

Best thing to start with has always been a tune. Then add supporting mods (catback, intake, downpipe, intercooler). I wouldnt worry about a bigger turbo yet. These mods should put you at about 320 wheel. Which is alot of power for this car. Anymore power and your gunna have to start dumping alot of cash into it.

Hey man, just line up a tune for when you pop in on leave. It will make a drastic difference, and allow you to enjoy the car with no downtime, because i know how precious each day is on R&R. Set aside some money each month for mods, and then towards the end of your deployment, start buying. New and different things come out all the time, usually better things, so don't rush it, the aftermarket for you is still growing.
I got here and paid mine off in less than 11 months, spending 90% of my paycheck towards getting the car paid down. Try making at least double payments, so that way when you get back, you don;t have to worry about a big car payment bogging you down each month.
Just some suggestions from my experience.
