Need Some Advice What would you do? 2G

[Bostedquest]

OK.. just reading through...

I agree on the intake, and filter. That needs to be first.
If you are worried about fuel, and your current rail pressure is fine. just get the SAFC, and injectors. Here they are only 55 bucks for 65Lbers, or 650CC (at 43 Psi- @58 PSI they are over 750CC). http://www.racetronix.com/17113814FM.html And those could well be the last injectors you would ever need to buy.

Now what you have not said is what oyu use the car for... DD? slight drag? Road racing? (just say no no) or good bye to the car.

These questions all play a part in what should be done next.
IE for a DD...
I would look at the fuel system. Is it good right now. Does it provide what you need. if so, move on to something else.
How old and what type of clutch do you have? for a DD I would have a 2100 at the very least. 2600 would be better.
Also for a DD a nice short shifter would be nice. Full instramentation if not there already.
DD would like hard pipes. On Ebay they are pretty cheap. I got a very nice 2.5" hard pipe set for only 130 shipped. Yes it is not an exact bolt in fit, but there are 2 of all the pipes. So get off the butt and do some actual cutting/welding and use the grey matter.

SO lest say so far you have decided on the injectors... $6X a pop say 220 delivered. intercooler pipes another 130
up to 350 now.
intake and filter be nice and say 70
420 total.
Now if you did the clutch, that is 400 right there...
Shifter say 60
480 total, and you have a very good base for your next round of mods. And not even over 500 yet... so get the used SAFC...or the MAFT...

Next could be the walbro and SAFC $3-350 for both. (Used SAFC) then you can pretty much mark the fuel system off the list.
Then go FMIC. Keep all the extra tubes and parts for the Ebay kit save some serious dough and just go say 300 for the intercooler. And you already have hard pipes to reuse to install it. Then your intake system would be considered done save the MAFT.

Well my current mods are

Apexi N1 exust,
Forge bov,
Big 16G ported w/34mm waste gate,
GReddy Profec B boost controler,

I Don't know what i should get next. People tell me different things all the time but what would you guys get next if you had about $500 to spend.

Also Dos any one know what HP I might have if i am running 16PSI on curent setup.

thanks

how is that forge bov, does it hold boost well, and how does it sound?

get yourself a good intake system and exhaust manifold

you said apexi N1 exhaust i dunno if you meant catback or al the way but if not , a Downpipe would be a nice upgrade too just my .02

Well i have the N1 Exhaust all the way with upgraded downpipe. Coast me a big $.

Also going to buy the air filter today. Will see how much different it will feel.

how is that forge bov, does it hold boost well, and how does it sound?

Well the blow off valve holds up very good but the problem is. It don't make the pssssssh noice. Thats what sucks. I would recomend it if you want to have a sleeper. I talked to some people @ my local shop (DSM shop). The guys told me its preatty good valve.

i would sell the profec B to get a MBC & that forge BOV to replace it with a crushed 1G. after selling both of those and replacing them, you should have another $250 for other mods. Id say get an SAFC, 550cc, 190lph, and a datalogger.

SAFC = $160
550cc = $175
190lph = $75
datalogger w/palm = $200

everything = $610 and you would have about another $140 to get something else. this is only my opinion but its something I would do. take it to the dyno and get it tuned with the extra money. if not the dyno, spend it on an UICP kit, used of course. good luck in your quest for power.

the only reson i got profec B is so i can lunch @ low boost (FWD) and switch to hi boost as i get some speed. I alson have dattaloger. Right now i am looking for which injectors i should get 550 or 6XX dunno for shure what i should get tho.
