holding off on chip until I get situated and ready
for stage 3- or 3.
Thought about getting a chip and then a MBC to slightly reduce boost and help preserve the stock K03s till them, but it seems like a waste.

Sounds very similar to my own modding path.
I had full turbo back exhaust before chipping. Now I have an MBC to reduce boost spikes and perserve my stock K03s until I go stage 3, which is rapidly approaching.

I had just a cat-back until 80K miles.
That was it power wise, then chip, followed by downpipes.
The exhaust is worth it, but the gain is negligible until you throw the chip into the mix, as Doc said...

or not...
chip is best bang for buck. lets say 1k for chip, 1k for exhaust. from stock catback will give you what??? 5-10awhp? chip gives you much more than that.
also full exhaust is 1kish for cat back, and 1.5k for dp's. find me a chip thats 2500.....
