First mods, deckplate and ISR. But I was thinking if more airflow, les fuel might cause more harm. Then I will be putting the 17" limited sequoia rims from my old runner on. Installing my old system, 5% all around and 35% on the full windshield. Then the 7th injector from URD. I will be getting some terra grapplers when the tires are spent. It has a brush guard that needs refinishing, which I will most likely refinish with spray on liner. I want to get some new tail lights. I have to figure out how to reattach the wind deflectors from my old runner. I need to refinish the rear plastic piece on the upper rear bumper. There is a little surface rust that needs tending to. I'm not sure if I will go solid green yet, I will see if the current color continues to grow on me. I have a few stickers I need to add, (custom snook stircker, "salt life" sticker and possibly a TR4.ORG sticker. And I want to shave all emblems. I will eventually add a few inches of lift, when I replace the shocks. I'm still thinking if I want a suspention lift of a body lift. As far as the supercharger goes, I might stop at the 7th injector, but I'm thinking about maybe a tranny cooler and possibly different pulleys. Not sure If I want to add more strain to the engine. I will also be replacing the head gaskets eventually, I need to pull them off and see what condition they are in. I remember someone saying something about the "rear diff breather mod" which I will be looking into. Any other ideas would be great.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

what do you guys think? I am wanting to add the 7th injector and the D/P, but my question is should I wait to add the D/P until after I install the 7th injector? I don't want to increase more airflow and thus decreasing AFR. Is this a valid concern or am I just being over-cautious.
Nice pick up. Although I don't think it looks bad at all right now, I'd definitely look into painting the gold cladding. That's just personal preference, though. Oh, also, you need to send me those rims, if you're going to be putting on the Sequoia's. I love those 5 star rims. 
Here is the write-up for the rear diff breather.

So this is what I've found out:
First I will be sending the S/C into magnuson to have it rebuilt. The s/c has been on since new and has exceeded its life expectancy by almost half. Then I will be putting the audio system in. Depending on the amount of money this cost will depend what I do next. I have heard mixed reports on adding the D/P. some say it will hurt, others say it wont and some say it doesn't make a difference. I might simply keep these rims and tires on until it is due for an allignment and then move to the 17"s. But I've been thinking about added weight and decreased power and what not.
I am waiting to hear back from magnuson so they can fill me in on what I need to do. Another thing I found strange is the the timing belt and water pump were done at 60K miles. So I will need to do those in about 10K miles. Go thing taxes are soon, I should be getting a decent amount of money back

The S/C should be serviced about ever 100k or so (IIRC). But when I called up TRD, they said that only the nose has to be serviced. It is a sealed unit and they basically just put a new nose on there. When the S/C hits 100k, they usually start leaking oil from the nose, which is why it needs to be serviced.
If you search on Yotatech, some have serviced the nose themselves for real cheap (I believe there is a write-up). I'd go that route rather than to take the whole thing off to send in.
