Turbo si intake manifold/TB combo?

So I'm making a little over 400whp and just curious what things I can do that I may have missed with the turbo kit that will gain me a few more hp as small mods. I did research but I can't seem to find much on how well throttle bodies and intake manifolds will help a high hp k20. The j37 and rrc is a good setup for a turbo k20 I'm seeing is that correct?

I think the RRC is more of an n/a IM. How much boost are you running? Because turning that up is certainly the easiest way to make more power.

I have thought about the traction control and im so interested in it, I saw the videos and it looks so amazing. That'll definitely be something I do but I'm looking for other things as well. Maybe reinforce the engine with better sleeves since that's a weak point.

I'm making 415whp at 14lbs on 93. And I'd rather not turn the boost up even though it's the easy way to do it, I'd like to get the most out of 14lbs with this compression.

Running full race kit with just the t3te4 journal bearing turbo, probably will upgrade to a 6262 first, probably be the best upgrade I could do first. And maybe some turbo cams, any idea which are supposed to be great? I've been hearing skunk 2 makes some shady cams now a days

Are the J37 throttle giving any problems when tuning the car with a flash pro, specially when the car is turbo??
