Tell me what I'm missing

[khartley]

Hey look at my profile to see my list of mods and tell me if you think I'm missing anything really important.

Thanks

FMIC, S-AFC, Boost gauge, boost controller, possibly an AFPR for the 255.

 

[khartley]

What's up with the boost gauge? Does the factory one not work good enough?

Thanks, though, I will note all of those things.

 

[Coldandafraid]

are there numbers on your factory boost gauge?

 

[khartley]

I will check

 

[khartley]

The factory boost gauge goes from -7 to 14, so basically if I plan to boost over 14, I will need a better boost gauge, right?

Maybe I will just buy a GBA...

 

[Spellmen]

You need a better boost guage no matter what. So I think you need, MBC, boost guage, 650s

 

[BOOSTIN21]

get some cams and you never said anything about the intake and IC piping but definetely bump up to 650's for injectors and do some port work thats cheap HP

 

[khartley]

yeah I did the whole K&N free flowing intake, forgot about that. My turbo is ported, head is ported...I'm sure lots of other things could be ported.

Are you kidding? Did you do any research before modding the car....or god help me purchase it from someone who modded it without installing an aftermarket boost gauge. It's not my job, or anyone else's to tell you what you are missing because you should be researching on your own.

But if you don't get a decent aftermarket boost gauge installed in that car soon, you'll be posting a thread about what kind of new engine to buy.

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that part of the reason for these forums was to ask questions about things you don't know about. Yes, I spend a couple hours a day researching, but I can't learn a whole lot without asking questions. How am I supposed to know what to research if I don't know what I actually need in the first place. So if you are just going to be a d*ck because you know everything there is to know about your car and I know little about mine, then just don't reply to my thread. I'm trying to not screw the car up by reading and asking questions so that hopefully I will get the best parts and advice I need.

Don't make fun of me for not knowing, at least I have the balls to ask questions about the things I don't know or understand. At least I'm trying.


And by the way, thank you for the link leakyfaucet

Just don't buy an autometer boost gauge.

 

[guitarXgeek]

There's nothing wrong with Autometer boost gauges

 

[Denji]

the boost gauge that comes stock is not an actual measurement of the pressure the turbo is creating. Those guages are run off of computer calculations based on air/fuel mixture and are not accurate.
