Cleaning up the AFR should help. A nice, safe 11.5 should do her good. I'd back off the timing a little bit at first, just in case.
I/C is good... turbo, not really. An upgrade there would really wake things up. Big time.
I hate meth. Not a fan of it at all. You need a really tricked out set-up for me to like it. Lots of money. Better off saved and spent on a better turbo, imho. A new turbo and a new downpipe is all that you would need. If you want to make things quick and simple... you could get the ZZP Mani, an S252ET/S256ET, the 46mm Precision wastegate, and then their downpipe. Simple bolt on solution.

Any electronic boost controller will work. Boost controllers are not vehicle specific.With that said, don't buy an electronic boost controller unless you are spending like $1000 on it. You buy a cheap one and things almost always go wrong. That sucker screws up and doesn't open up the wastegate... guess what, you're engine just saw 40-50psi and spilled its guts all over the street.
Get a quality manual boost controller and be done with it. If you're looking for something that you can adjust from the driver's seat, first I'll ask why?... and second I'll say that Hallman makes a MBC for that purpose. IMO, there's really no point to it. Set your boost. Tune for it. Don't touch it again until you're ready to turn up the boost.
ZZP sells them. I had one on my car. I do NOT recommend them. I recommend a proper set-up, like Josh had done to his. -10an bung on the Valve Cover. Then run a line from that to either a VTA catch can, or to a closed catch can and then to your intake.

i have 16x7 mb wheels "seven x" and 245/50/ nitto 555r's. but i have spacers made specifically for the centerline storms. so when i get a job again i'll be ordering storms and 26/10/15 MT's. ooooooooor do the hub swap and get a real front and rear weld racing setup since the car won't be daily driven any more

Also got a question for when I go to sell the intake manifold i only sell the two long studs with it and keep the other 5 or 6 regular bolts that screw into the head correct? I also pulled the map sensor out of the manifold also
