Im a noob looking to make some more HP

[n00btalon]

Alright heres the deal, I have a 91' Talon AWD TSi

Stock 14b...
basically stock setup

I do have an Apexi' exhaust 3''

and the TurboXS RFL BOV...

Now i just working a FMIC Kit and have to install that
and I Also have an ported Evo 3 Exhaust Manifold sitting
in my living room ready to install as well.

I was just looking for some suggestions on what I could
get and do to gain some more HP.

Biggest suggestion is my buddy says boost controller and new guages...

so that was next on my list but other than that... like how about
Intake?, what would i look for, intake wise im a bit confused about
all the piping and..

yea, so just throw some ideas out that are to far out and would give
me some descent upgrades...

Thanks guys! I know you's know a lot, thanks for helping!

Have you done the "Free Mods" : http://www.dsmtuners.com/tuning-guide/1gturbo/

That page should provide most of what you need.

figure out a horse power goal or a quarter mile goal first and that will help you find your answer

dejon tool , makes some decent intake pipe's / kits for not that much money , also look around on the classifieds for an intake ,

Also another cheap yet very helpfull mod is a downpipe.. Bassiccly just follow the guide , its there for a reason , im almost threw "Stage 1" myself ... Everything is working nice...

Just make sure all maint. is done b4 you start modding , if not thats how you break stuff

good luck to you

sweet guys thanks....


do you guys know much about boost controllers??

manual or electric?

and if manual how are they set up to determine the psi?

 

[n00btalon]

and do you guys know how much of a HP gain ill get from installing that FMIC and the Evo 3 mani?? estimate

 

[jonk00000]

before you raise the boost get a boost guage.
manual boost controller will be easier to install. usually its a ball and spring therefor the more you tighten it the higher you will raise the boost
how much money do you plan on spending?

 

[n00btalon]

spend total? or on boost controller?

i kinda see this as being a project as in not buying everything all at once u know? here and there stuff... buy a few things now, few weeks later buy some more? yeah

 

[jonk00000]

yea, yer best bet is to follow lazersrt-4's advice and go through tuning guide and go for stage 1 upgrades

The next thing you do should be a boost gauge. Your friend is right, a MBC will help you gain some more power. Getting an aftermarket intake filter with a hard intake pipe will net you a few more ponies. A simple setup would be to purchase a K&N (there are lots of other brand options) air filter and mate it with a quality intake pipe like someone already suggested. When you install the Exhaust manifold, upgrade to a 3 inch downpipe aswell to gain some more power.

Before you go and start going to town. Have you done all your maintanence? Changed fluids in the gear boxes, tune up, checked for boost leaks, ect. Yeah this stuff isn't going to give you loads of hp but it will bring some life back into some of those old parts.
