Hey guys I know there are a lot of threads about this but i need a little more personal insight..
I was thinking a 14b would be a super cheap nice power upgrade but i know im only going be happy with it for only a little while...but the more I read the more I think i would like to buy a 16g. Most of my friends are in the 300+hp (including a Honda) range so i would like to be there as well either later on in the year or at least by next year for sure...so 300 to the wheels is my hp goal....also i would like to keep the SMIC for now (i hear it helps the turbo spoil quicker) so that so? would i need a FMIC for the 16g? how hp much can i get out of a 14b? does the 14b need a FMIC ? I do plan on upgrading injectors FYI..
Here is what i would like/need:
AFFORDABILITY
300 hp range
Good top end boost/power (vs drop off in higher rpms)
keep SMIC? (for now)
rather not upgrade the fuel pump (not just yet)
thanks
