performance upgrades
I am looking to do some performance upgrades to a 2002 PSD 4X4. Since I can only afford to do one at a time I was wondering if anybody had any recomendations/thoughts as to what to do first or in what order I should do them or any certain products I should look for? Some of the things I am considering are:
bypass oil filtration...
intake systems...
exhaust systems(stainless or aluminum)with or without muffler?...
Gauges...
chip upgrades...
Thanks for the info.

1. Oil bypass filter by Oilguard http://www.oilguard.com/top_menu/ford.php
2. Coolant filter from Tymar
www.tymarperformance.com
3. Air intake-I like the Tymar, but if you want a reusable filter get the AFE
www.tymarperformance.com
AFE is for sale at the online store here
4. A 4" exhaust system with a performance muffler and a aftermarket turbo downpipe. If you don't mind the turbo flutter, you don't need a muffler.
5. Gauges. A must if you are going to be chipping or running a tuner. Check out Western Diesel.

6. A chip or microtuner. I like the newer microtuners they are selling at the online store here because they also read service codes. When I have the rest of my mods done I plan on getting one.

I saw this and the bypass filtration thread. Can someone explain the advantages of bypass filtration/why I want it?
This was in the other thread:
Does it replace your factory filtration?

It takes a small portion of the oil circulating in the oil system and filters out particles much smaller than the regular full flow filter catches. It helps reduce engine wear and keeps the oil cleaner for longer periods of time.
