Getting APR - What to Get With?

I'm considering getting an APR chip installed soon.

Which other components are really worth getting added at the same time?

Would a BPV or exhaust mod really add that much more HP?

Are some essential?

do the bpv.....

mine lasted less than a week after i chipped. the TT valve should work fine with just a chip and costs only $35 or so. i've goy 65K on my ttbpv with no problems.

BPVs add no HP, they just keep you from loosing boost compared to stock.

upgrading the BPV is a requirement when chipped.

Thanks for the clarification.

By extension, are you also saying that the exhaust isn't really worth it?

Thx,

Isn't the APR exhaust plus a bpv the same thing?

If so, consensus seems to be that the cat back isn't worth the $$$.
