yes wideband is a must and mabe you could look into an 3" turbo back exhaust, cold air intake, boost controller (dont know if there good for an SR, ever car reacts differently to them), Intercooler w/pipeing.

Only get a tubular manifold if you're buying a high quality one. Otherwise it will crack over time. I cracked two Megans before buying my HKS mani. Do not even consider a SSautochrome/eBay or I will slap you IRL.

evaluate the answers given....
intake/exhaust mods are easy and obvious.
boost controller would be high on my list.

already HAVE boost controller....I read that as you had a Forge Master Brake Cylinder...;) I think he means get a real boost controller. You know, maybe one that doesn't spike. But by all means, get an FMIC if you are planning on turning up the boost.
Or is it already turned up too?
and yes get a tubular manifold, Spend hundreds of dollars to gain 2-3 midrange hp's if you're keeping the T-25.
Or do you already have a tubular manifold?

fmic, gt2871r, greddy easy install cams, 550cc injectors, full 3inch exhaust, manifold, dump pipe, down pipe, greddy intake style manifold and most importantly a power fc. with that set up 400s easily.

stock manifold > Megan/Ebay Manifolds.... If you get a tubular manifold invest your money into a tomei expreme manifold.. but remember all manifolds are prone to cracking, stainless steal ones more so than others...
