Stock turbo options?

[eclipspyderman]

I was just reading a reply saying that a FMIC wouldn't be good with a stock turbo, what would the downsides of that? and what is an alternate way for cooling? and i was also looking to purchasing a blitz bov, will that have any downside with my stock turbo? let me know, thanks, Joseph

The downside would be slightly increased lag, and a huge dent in your wallet for something that wouldn't do much. If you increased the boost on your stock turbo, you would start to see an improvement from the stock sidemount, but it still wouldn't really be worth the expense, IMO. Pretty much same thing with the BOV. Stock 2g BOV sucks above stock levels, but in less you're increasing the boost beyond stock, I doubt you'd notice any difference. Hope that helps.

A 1G CBV is a good upgrade. A true BOV sounds cool but they can cause problems like strange idle and running too rich when vented.

If you plan on keeping the factory turbo I suggest an upgraded sidemount intercooler or some type of sprayer for the factory intercooler.
