A better AFM will definatly help, but a lot of people dont do the afm before getting the chip.

Definatly an exhaust and at least a cold air intake to get the best out of the chip would be advisable.

Then if you get an afm later down the track im sure you can sort out a swap over + cash with noss to go from stage 3 to stage 3 to suit your afm.

I'd personallly get the cold air intake before the upgraded AFM.

Get your cold air intake setup, buy afm + chip at same time.

Price for CAI, mate, how much do you want to spend? Budgie YEARS ago made one out of PVC (don't laugh it looked good) for cheap as chips OR you can buy stainless pipe + silicon joiners and spend some money. Get creative  :)

Just buy a RB25 one or something (can get one for $50). A Z32 AFm is an absolute waste of cash with the mods you have.

I dont know if I remember feeling a gain in upgrading the AFM to be honest...

I've done 3 or 4 PVC CAIs over the last few years, and they work awesomely well!

Nice intake roar if you're into that kind of thing  ;D
