What would you do? (meth upgrade question)

I have an 07, so I could get just the AR elbow AND meth for christmas, or get the full ER charge pipe now and wait til spring to upgrade to meth. Responsibility says go full charge pipe but since I'm not going to get any more bolt ons boost won't be terribly high, and I doubt I'm going to replace the stock diverter valves unless they fail.

Thoughts?

Get the ER. We have great deals on it and you can get rid of a potentially leaky stock DV.

Get the meth. Once you have it, you realize how big of a mistake you would've made had you not got it.

get the elbow, full chargepipe isn't necessary. I have AR elbow, works like it should.

I was told the elbow was actually better for meth atomization anyways. I already have a cp with no bungs. But instead of tapping bungs in going with meth elbow.

Who told you this? Nozzle size and placement are what affects atomization. I'm spraying x2 large (1.0mm) jets at my FMIC and x1 smaller (0.7mm) jet at my chargepipe.

Placement is what I'm talking about. I was told closer to the FMIC the better. Which to me means elbow is better than CP.
