Suggestions on what to do to my car next.

[Ms95TSi]

I have a 95 TSi FWD. All I have done to it is an ebay 16g, 1g bov, and a walbro 255 which isn't installed yet. Im just doing little mods for right now and am wanting some suggestions on what to do next. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Do all maintenance and then get a logger and something to tune with, I recommend dsmlink, but this is just my opinion and someone will give you a different opinion. Also a little more info would be good, budget? Goals for the car?

Ya Ive kept up on the maintence just have to do the timing belt in about 3,000 miles but I have money put away for that so I guess I could do it anytime. My budget right to buy stuff right now is about 500 so not much. I don't have huge plans for my car just want to get alittle bit bigger turbo next summer or fall.

When you do the pump, do the fuel lines and, if you have cash at that time, AFPR.

K will do! This is probably a dumb question but what is the AFPR and how much?

AFPR is an adjustable fuel pressure regulater. when you install your 255 fp it will over run your stock fpr (fuel pressure regulator) so you'll need an aftermarket one. an AFPR and the install kit your looking right a $200 give or take... IMO having been there done that heres what id do. id put the 255 fp in a box, get a AFPR, and injectors and toss those in a box too. save up and get an EPROM ecu and then save up for link and put them on all at one. it sounds like a lot of stuff and saving but you can't really do one without the other and have your car run like it should.
if you don't want to go that route it doesn't seem like you've done the basics like exhaust, intake, or a boost gauge.

Awesome thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely take them and wait until I can do all of that at once. No I haven't done those basics yet and I'm really wanting to do an exhaust system. What is your suggestion on exhaust or should I be doing the intake or boost gauge first?

 

[gofer]

i spent almost $600 on a new greddy catback and then realized i could have done A LOT more with $600 if i would have just used the classifieds on tuners. IMO if you haven't done a catback, intake, or upgraded to a 1g bov then search the classifieds and you can do all 3 for the $500 you've got saved.
and do that timing belt, mine skipped because i put off doing it and i was lucky i didn't bend any valves.

I would do a Front mount intercooler, an intake if you don't have one yet, and a exhaust.
