I was merging onto the interstate a couple days ago, boosting pretty hard (about 14psi sustained for 30 secs). Decellerated and saw a HUGE plume of grey oil smoke pouring out my tail pipe. Cleared up after about 10 secs. But, I figure that's probably the seals on my turbo going kaput, right? Still spools fine, but... Time to upgrade! So I need help picking out a turbo, injectors, fp and intercooler.
Right now I have already ordered a 2.5" turbo back with test pipe, ported o2 housing, GM MAF w/T, and pocketlogger kit. I'm looking at probably getting an Evo 16g (ported or no port?), Evo exhaust manifold (or 2g ported?), probably 660 injectors, and either a 190lph or 255llph pump. The 255 would probably be best for my hp goals, right? What would be the best FPR to get with it that doesn't cost a ton?
I still have the stock intercooler and piping, so I'm trying to figure out what to do there... What's the max boost I could run on stock IC with a blowthru uicp? If I go bigger, should I get a upgraded smic, supra smic, or fmic? If I get an fmic, what's a reasonably priced kit? If not a kit, what's a good core if I get my own pipes fabbed? Thanks all!!!
