How much power gain??

[bsm4590]

I just bought a full 2.5 inch LICP and UICP for my stock intercooler a also bought an MBC a boost gauge and a 1g blow off valve. How much power should i expect to gain and what do you guys think i should set my psi to when i get it? everything is stock except a cone air filter.

They might consider this bench racing but....

I wouldn't expect any significant changes, maybe 5-10 hp at most.

o alright i just didnt know if these were the best first parts to invest in my car. Only reason i wanted to know is because i was seeing if the UICP would help a lot and if its worth buying and ive heard pretty good things about the 1g bov

You might notice alittle better response and a more solid boost level. It might feel alittle different but those aren't serious mods.

ya most of the parts are necessary. does anyone know a good boost level to keep it at or how much boost it can handle on a stock motor right now?

Hey whats up man, I live in cb..Well La Vista. Dude who are you I might know you and I would have went with exhuast before that intercooler piping. My Laser is pretty good. I defenately had problems with mild modded hondas and so on but after 3' exhuast, down pipe, and test pipe I started to walk everyone of them last summer. No tune, boost up to 15lbs from 11lbs. Frankly, ya could toss those on but Id take it to Chad and make sure shes runnin 100%. Then Id get a boost controller and guage and a wideband. Id be glad to help out. Chads a good guy and I swear by him. He wont treat you stupid. He does alot of dsm tunning around here. Ask around about him. You'll be happy you did.

Expect around a 10hp increase at max. I would keep the boost level at 12-13 psi. Regardless the t25 will just spike and in the end hold 10-11 psi, depending on the condition of the turbo.

My name is Ben Moffat. A full 3" turbo back exhaust is next on my list and i will most likely get that soon. I actually have been trying to find a good shop or person that works on dsm. Is there any way i could contact this guy named Chad
