What's next?

Heres a list of mods I've done, or will have done soon(whenever they get here..)so far:
JB4 w/bef, antilag and 2step
AMS Intercooler
Catless downpipes
Dci
Chargepipe w/raceport bov
BMS Catch can and cowl filters (not performance related I guess, but meh)

So where should I go from here? I'm in western Canada so E85 is unheard of..
Im thinking a Meth kit would be my next best bang for buck?
Also, when should I be looking at fueling upgrades?
Thanks

I think I'm that guy now: go replace Mickey Mouse (Coolant Outlet Flange on eBay)
A) becuase it's pretty easy to install (none of that BMW remove this to get to that nonsense)
B) they break very easily and can strand you

You're talking the cylinder head coolant fitting? already have my dude had to when I did the ofhg, previous owner put it back in all broken with rtv or some shit..
Ive also done VCG, OFHG, intake manifold gaskets and checked the carbon buildup in the valves, plugs, coils, injectors, coolant reservoir return line.. so many stuffs lol But thank you for your suggestion!

Most basic maintenance is done, just looking where to go after FBO and when should I have to start upgrading fuel. If its turbos and port injection and all that, then I'm gonna start on upgrading suspension and visuals. Everyone seems to like H&R springs with Bilstein shocks or KW V3's so maybe that next

Are $400 rubber hoses really worth it though..? I'm all for making power and mods, that just seems a little ridiculous to pay that for glorified coolant hoses imo.
Was looking into XHP or Sutphin for the trans, but I'm guessing you meant in place of the JB4 maps?

Inlets do make a difference especially with a custom tune.

Outlets not so much.

Hybrid turbos or Single the next big upgrade from Stage2+

Gonna cost an arm and a leg though, lol.

Good stuff on upgrading Mickey lol.
As far as inlets, your turbos will spool more easily and your WGDC will decrease. I'd say it's worth it as your turbos are likely to die anyways (at which point you'll need them). I feel like half of N54 tuning isn't adding power it's just unrestricting the peripherals.
I was weary about paying $300+ on Silicone tubes but then I saw the size of the rear inlet before it hits the snout and all my questions vanished after that.
