The Thrasher chip would be a great chip for a mostly stock car, lots of "seat of the pants" feel. You can get one from Rob Wilson on this list for about $25.
The Flowmasters are not really the best mufflers for a turbo car. They're made to use the exhaust pulses to help scavenge the gasses and quiet the exhaust, but a TR doesn't have the pulses because the exhaust goes through the turbo which effectivly dampens them. Leave 'em on as long as they're there, but in the future, ya' might reconsider...

Evan Ward listed his mods, but there was no mention of any fuel system improvements. Without AT LEAST a hot wire kit, and preferably the hot wire plus new fuel pump, any other mods will be dangerous. Also, no mention of a knock detector or a scantool. Even, read over the "spring cleaning" section at the Gnttype web site, and do some homework before you blow a head gasket, or worse.

Evan, take the time to learn about the car before you jump in with both feet. Review as much info as you can on the gnttype.org site. These cars can be a blast, but can also go bang without some knowledge of how things work. A scan tool and/or data recorder is a necessity.
