Heres What i have ordered so far. Should be in 3-4 days.

-Borg Warner 57 trim turbo, new 1 year warranty
-custom 3" downpipe
-tanabe 3" cat back
-SAFCII
-Walbro 255
-RC 550's
-HKS FCD
-AEM Uego Wideband Converter and gauge
-JIC Strut Bar
-JIC Under bar ?
-Autometer Boost Gauge
-Hallman MBC
-HKS Intake
-HKS SSQ BOV

What do you guys think? I want some good opinions because I just got done handing a guy $3412.45 (probably more than the cars worth, 89 turbo targa 146,000) for everything, minus the MBC, Intake and BOV, which i had before the order. It also has new ACL rod and main bearings and HKS 1.2mm MHG, again not included in the order. I hope it'll make some power because everything had to be ordered, so the only thing i have to show for it is the strut bar, because its all they had in stock. Let me know what you guys think.

Remove the FCD before you boost the car even once. All you'll need at this point for some decent power is an intercooler and some sort of AFM upgrade (Lexus, MAFT, MAP, VPC, etc).

Why remove the FCD? And Is it necessary to upgrade the MAF? I heard its rough to get to run good after the lexus or MAFT upgrade. I will probably go VPC if anything.

FCD cuts fuel cut by clamping down on the AFM frequency. It does nothing to extend the map and therefore boosting beyond FCO becomes very dangerous.

The stock AFM in my experience does not like being pushed past 16psi. Getting the car to accept the Lexus AFM with 550's is quite simple, it's usually a bolt on affair. The VPC is also a bolt on affair, very minimal tuning to get full boost. The MAFT and MAP ECU I have no direct experience with.
