Best bomb under $200 would be a Psychotty or other type of air filter upgrade. Close behind that ($250-$275) would be a boost and pyro gauge, with A-pillar mount.

Gauges should be added first regardless of price. Quality boost and pyrometer gauges (all you would really need in your case) can be purchased for $200. -$250.

Like John said,
boost and pyrometer gauges are definitely the start. I got mine from TST Products and they have worked flawlessly. Then, go for one of those computer chip performance boxes you 24 valvers use. #ad

guages will tell you things that the "seat of pants" just can't give accuracy on. It wasn't my 1st BOMB, but they went in with the injectors and plate for sure.
first BOMB of any consequence was actually the valve body, but that won't fall into your $200 limit.
