just got my 1st 2g

[jbeaton9292]

Ok im new to 2g not to dsm its a 96 gst with 99 7 bolt i know a 7 bolt isnt as capable as a 6 bolt but swap isnt an option as im trying to do this on a budget.

I want to make around 300whp, more than enough for a gst. So here is what im thinking the car has a 16g on it already.

Evo 8 injectors
Walbro 255
Afpr
Wideband
Boost gauge
Already have greddy 24r fmic greddy bov
And a way to tune safc gm maf ecmlink blackbox

Again i want this to be cheap im willing to pay for a quality item but im not sure if i need link i know its really good ive owned v3 full

Do these simple mods seem like they can get me there. Im guessing 20psi should put me around there

Do all maintenance first. What all will say first. Not sure but others will chime in arp head studs to be safer at that boost level manual boost controller.

Well the maintenance is a given i said im not new to a dsm and mbc is obvious when i said 20psi

That isnt even remotely true anymore, especially if you truly have a 98+ block. Even the early 7 bolts are fine when built. Honestly, swaps are overrated and overdone.

As for your goals, the list looks pretty good. Being that it isn't a 98+ Ecu, I see no need in tracking one down. Although link is my preferred choice, I have nothing against the blackbox route having used it myself at one point.
