okay

Which things get to load more - I heard spark plugs & coils, anything else that I need to keep an eye on ( I know its different for every car, but one things common in all of us: we beat the car, if u dont pls sell it..)

I also read DME transistors come under stress and can burn .. I dont even know where the DME is located

What is your mileage, it makes a difference? About 25K on plugs & if you get misfires with good plugs start swapping the coil packs around to find the bad one or ones.

Do buy an Oil Catch Can ASAP. With more boost, comes a lot more oil going everywhere. Also start saving up for an FMIC in the near future.
