PUT THAT T-25 ON AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!!!!! As any DSMer would say, wait to upgrade until you can afford to do it right the first time!!! Leave the T25 on, until you get everything, then after you get your ideal setup, you can blast past the competion with a maxed out E16G- 375whp if your good enough at tuning
I would really recomend some 650+ cc injectors, as it is better to have to much in control, than to little to control!!!
If you listen to anything on here- listen to this. WAIT to mod until you have complete knowledge and support to do it in the first place!!!!

Put your t-25 back on until you can afford all the supporting mods for the car. By the way I think DSM link is overkill for his goals for the car, he should be fine with just an afc. All you really NEED is an FPR, 550cc injectors, 190 or 255lph fuel pump, install kit, and an safc. The 2g mass can handle what you're throwing at it so you won't need a maft setup. Also if you don't have an aftermarket boost and airfuel gauge i suggest you invest some money in those to.

Im going to get link with my setup check the mod list. Because link is pretty good and a AFC is still a tuning band aid.

AFCs are awsome for the price and what they do, but link is def much better choice.

I have all the supporting mods i need except for the injectors. If i keep the boost below 15 i should be fine, if im not mistaking. O ya and i dont have front mount eigther but again under 15psi and not taking it to redline i should be perfectly fine

Yes. I ran around for about a week at 15 psi and stock fuel injectors (i ran 43.5 psi FP, a higher base fuel pressure that stock for me[37]). I did this with my 18G !!!

I don't believe the upgrade path is any more than a general guide. You are definately not less of a tuner or builder if you do not follow it. I didn't follow the guide. The 2g guide even tells you to upgrade your turbo BEFORE you put in bigger injectors... I'm sure the writers don't mean that you should upgrade to a turbo that is not too much for the 450cc injectors (what's that? a 14B) then turn around and buy another turbo when you get your injector upgrade!

Just use self control and leave her at 15 psi.

Exactly the guide is kinda pointless but pretty useful as well it gives you the general idea about upgrading but what ever i will be fine a 15 psi until FMIC and Intectors

I think the guide is very, very useful for those of us who are not sure about where they want to go. DSMTuners.com is a fantastic site. An excellent group of moderators and a good system to determine who you should listen to like a professor. Your best bet is to keep your eyes on this forum daily. Everything else is jsut you're personal path to your goal.
