Cooler plugs, new fuel filter, higher rated injectors and a tune.

Limited slip differential. It puts power to both rear wheels, where an open differential (stock V6) has power to one. Hence the "one wheel peel".

you should notget a dual exhaust, get a bigger single.
why might you ask?
the turbo takes in both exhaust headers to spin the turbine, then puts it out through a single exhause pipe(unless you have an internal wastegate, then you will have 2, but willmerge together6" away from the turbo). you'd pretty much be doing a backwards y pipe if you dual it out, rather than having a single all the way back. and then backpressure will come into play also if you dual it.
