What next???

[captconnels]

I'm buying a 96 Esi from this guy as soon as he puts the tranny back in it(Blew apart the case goin to 4th at 110). And it'll run damn close against stock tsi's and gst's. He said he is runnin about 225hp but im a little skeptical. Here's the mods as far as i know: Ported & Polished Head, JE Pistons, Crower Rods, Tanabe Exhaust, Ractive CAI, Pacesetter 4-2-1 ceramics, 2.5" drop, motegi wheels w/ pirelli rubber, and a bunch of cosmetic stuff. Help me out here, could he reasonably be running 225? I plan on buying the car either way, but what would be my next mod? The car was built for nitrous so i was thinking about putting a NOS Direct Port EFI(i've heard great things). Prolly a 75 shot. That or i was leaning toward a HRC stage 2 kit. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanx guys,
Mike

225hp??? Man check this link out and it will tell you how to possibly hit just 200hp! 2G N/A Upgrade Stages

Hes probably 160HP TOPS.

Its not too hard to keep with with a 4g63 anyway

Nah get the turbo kit but find out what pistons he has in there first.

 

[captconnels]

they are JE Forged, no overbore

If he actually has 225hp with those mods then if sellin my tsi for a non-turbo!!!
