I just saw a new Blow off valve for the N13 (fits other engines as well) from GFB in Australia. Anyone has any experience with this product?

For intercooler, I would recommend the M135i oem intercooler. Most of the aftermarket ones are too big and causes lag.
I used this charge pipe (

If you have the budget, go for brands like Supersprint for exhaust. Otherwise, you can always have it custom made.
Gfb dumpvalve is great. Oem one is cheap and plastic and not good at holding the boost at stage 2 levels and will probably fail after sometime. Gfb is really easy to install, very durable and makes a big difference.
You may also consider using methanol with this setup if you want a little more power.
You'll have a different car after all these modes and love it even more
