Welcome to FTE!
If you want it to run better, sell the diablo programmer and get a custom tuned chip. They are a big improvement over an off-the-shelf programmer.
There's a number of options for turbo upgrades: van turbo, ATS compressor housing, 1.0 exhaust housing, 38R. Depends how much money you have and what you're trying to gain.
Have you had issues with your tranny? Some '01's have diodes that go bad, requiring a rebuild.

Maybe he wants more suggestions Stewy
, forgot to add this. OK, from what I learned here and people often speaking about, van turbo, GT-42, H2E, S400. These last three with a modded or proper setup.
