I get to run a VPC! (q's inside)

[onegee]

now heres the thing...i get to borrow a friends VPC and want to know what you guys think...setup is as follows:

2.5 UICP
HKS BOV
MBC
2.5 catback
suspension
motor mounts
act 2100

now i dont have a full exhaust yet, should be another month...do you feel i should just run the VPC and not worry bout it, or should i wait? and should my stock fuel pump be of any concern if i plan on keeping it under 14psi? plz reply with any EXPERIENCE you have...no "i thinks" or "this should.." altho it is appreciated..thanks

The gains will be marginal at best with the mods you have now. However if you have a larger setup planned for the future. You will benefit from the vpc at a later date.

The person I am buying my VPC from claims to have put it on one of his stock 1Gs once and gained approx. 30whp. He said that on the stock car, with no other mods his traps went from 93mph to 98mph.

btw, onegee check your PMs

i gotta call BS on getting 30hp with no other mods. Mebbe 10 if ur lucky.

OK sure, but lets say he ran race gas both times, and leaned it out with the VPC the second time, and ran it with NO intake...just the turbo inlet open to the air. Now, im not gonna stand behind it 100% because i wasnt there, but i believe it is possible.

As long as you have matching injectors, you can run that VPC no problem. And yes the gains can be very significant. The stock 1G MAS is VERY restrictive.
