No i dont, that was in 04' maybe 05'. Basic set up, safc, 650's.Video, slips, mod list?
Why do people think the first things they should get is Vent BOV and a big ass FMIC? Who the hell came up with that...
You wont need link until you decide to go with a bigger turbo which will require a better intercooler, larger fuel pump/injectors, wideband, and fuel pressure regulator. If those are your plans then link would be a good idea bc your going to need it eventually.
If it's never going to upgrade from the stock turbo I would maybe put an exhaust on it. The stock turbo is maxed out to begin with. All the mods in the world won't make much of a difference.
. Do not forget that ECMLink is a powerful diagnostic tool as well, hence my suggestion to use it. For this alone, ECMLink is well worth the investment.
Why has no else mentioned and lsd? This would be one of the best handling modifications one could do on the FWD drive train.
They make a fwd LSD for the 2g. At lower power levels, the original axles should be fine. Regardless of what one person did once, an LSD would be a great handling modification. The difference is night and day. This is from first hand experience, not someone else's. Getting what power you have to the ground is just as if not, more important than how much you have.Richard went 10.90's on a stock fwd open diff. And i don't think the car is ready to need to dig into equal length half shafts mods just yet.

IMO you don't need or exhaust mods or tuning mods until you have installed a bigger turbo or boosted past 15.
IMO you cant run a bigger turbo or boosted past 15 or fuel mods until you have tuning mods installed.

What I'm saying is a tuning option isn't essential to max the potential of the t25 and 2g smic not weather or not to get it, im saying it is not needed for what the OP's current goals are.

It just gets old reading newbie thread after newbie thread and seeing the same nonsense spewed over each and every one. Advising a larger turbo, bov's, fuel mods, large fmic's, e85, intake manifolds and countless other nonsensical mods to new members, who probably then go out and tear their car apart based on the advise they got on what they thought was a trust worthy site. The car sits on jack stands for the next two years and is eventually parted out perpetuating the "dsm is not reliable" rumors.
It all starts with good advice. Link is a diagnostic tool, that like said above is worth the price for that alone. Link, wideband, boost gauge and controller is already $1000 in parts, many afternoons in labor, and countless hours learning link itself. Basically the first year of owning a dsm should involve maintenance and installing and learning link/reading logs.
Anything past that is a waste of time. By the time that first year is over they'll know enough about the car to know exactly where to go from there. So we should advise new members to slow down, one step at at time, and learn link.
My gst is my daily driver. And I'm just trying to take it slow till I can get a gsx then I'll go a little bit bigger with the build. I'll get the link ,boost controller, wideband , fuel system, new piping , and a different side mount. And see where that puts me. Any suggestions on brands ?
