Sooo... I got my Tsi finally! Questions.

[drk mrk iv]

Well boys and girls I finally bought it. A 96 Talon Tsi AWD 5spd. 110,000 miles, timing belt replaced a few months ago, ect. ect. It can be seen here on the top: http://www.dsmcars.com/

It runs great. No ticks, no noises, tranny seems to be pretty good. Just a few questions:
It has so far: HKS hipower exhaust, injen intake, Greddy type-S (recirc). I have in my room: Apexi downpipe, boost controller (the JoeP is on it running 15lbs), autometer EGT and boost (the really nice lunar ones)

So I have about 800 dollars left to play with. I want to continue doing mantincene to it. I really feel as if I should change out the spark plugs, because acceleration under boost doesn't seem that smooth. It is smooth and maybe Im just being paranoid. Which ones should I get? I plan on running an EVOIII 16G soon. I also plan on porting all my stock stuff too. So, which spark plugs and what else to get? I was planning on getting the N1 catback that would eliminate the need for a cat all together... But since I got this nice HKS sitting here, might as well use that. So do I need a highflow cat or test pipe? The key word is no welding.

So... The basics: SAFC, injectors (what size to run 16g? 550's, or 650's?), 190 pump with rewired, intercooler piping.

BTW, I absolutly love this car. My old man had a 350z, traded it in for an e46 M3, and I drive a high 12 Mustang. None of these cars compare to the joy of driving this car.

That's a nice clean find. I personally would get BPR6ES if you still have the stock turbo. And consider BPR7ES once you get a bigger one. Make sure you port that turbo and o2 before you put it all in.

i plan on running 650-680cc injectors with my evo 16g because i read on a website, (RRE i believe) that you don't have to upgrade to a 255lph to run over 20psi with the 660's. I believe with the 550cc you would need a larger pump. Plus it gives you some room to play with.
