Newbie Question

[Excalibur]

I'm new to this website and this platform. My last car was a 93 RX7TT and wasn't a reliable daily driver. I wanna make my evo run at least a 12.5 and be a dependable daily driver. What all would you guys recommend I do to get these numbers? The car is stock except for the turboxs bc and supposedly the guy that owned it before me had the car's ecu reflashed for the buschur w/ test pipe setup and intake. He didn't touch the cams or fuel, so I don't know why he did this. I don't know if I should just buy the buschur exhaust and start there or what. Whether I do or dont, what else should I do? All the things that I normally do to the car, such as intake and bov, I'm reading that I shouldn't do that on other threads. Sorry for the novel, but could someone hook me up w/ some answers?

Don't trip.
Do you still have the test pipe and intake?
If your serious about hitting a specific number, your going to need fuel control, control a flash isn't going to give you. Consider getting reflashed to stock and start fresh.
You don't have to get a Buschur exhaust if you don't want to. Get the one that you like, that is consistant diameter, mandrel bent, and fits your budget.
An upgraded BOV really isn't required unless your going to consistantly run 21+psi.
An intake really isn't required until you upgrade the turbo. I'll admit to a little rice though; I slapped on a K&N cone because I missed hearing my turbo spool.

Well, my thoughts as far as a start was to get the APS intake, ic spayer res, and turboback. I haven't found anyone that has that exhaust that could tell me if it's a good investment or not. Money's not too much of an issue. I'd rather get something outstanding for more money than to just have average for cheaper if you know what I mean. Besides, I'm gonna have the car for a long time, so I wanna put the "good stuff" on it. As far as the APS intake, would there be any more sound from the stock BOV? When I had an srt-4 (sorry) I changed the intake and it made a huge difference in bov sound. I don't still have the bolt-on's from when he had it. Oh, also, are there any reputable shops around VA Beach that anyone knows about?
