2G What other mods can I do?

[xGrafitti]

Ok. So I have my first eclipse. It's a GST. And I have about $1400 to start off with on mods and upgrades. So far I have a list of

-Turbo BoV + 2.5" Flange pipe
-New set of radial tires (Needed)
-Stage 3 Mitsubishi Eclipse Performance Chip
-Full Turbo Catback Exhaust System
-Turbo Air Intake
-Electric all in 1 Boost controller
-Triple guage pod with pods (including boost guage)

This is what I have so far on that list and expecting to have about $450 left and want to know what else I should add? Also with what I have on the list should it be ok to turn the boost up to 14psi?

I would go with a crushed 1g blow off valve with a new upper inner cooler pipe and the 14b. But don't forget the 2g install kit to properly install it on a 2g and a SRS exhaust cheap but reliable.

The MAF-T can at least be used with ECMLink. SAFC cannot be used with other tuning options, and often times just gets in the f*cking way!

Lets make this simple. Here is what I would get if I were you:



Wideband - Innovate MTX-L: Let me google that for you

Get your triple gauge A-Pillar and get boost, and oil pressure gauges.

Rewire the stock fuel pump for a little better flow: 2G DSM FWD Fuel Pump Rewire Instructions

That K&N filter kit looked nice, go for it: K&N High Flow Filter w/ MAS Adapter Plate (2g DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance

Some 550CC injectors: Let me google that for you (only if you get a GM MAF/MAF-T)

Then there's these 2: JM Fab BOV Adapter (2G DSM/EVO) - Modern Automotive Performance & Mitsubishi OEM 1G DSM Eclipse & Talon Blow Off Valve

Why would you use a translator with ecmlink when you can connect the gm maf directly to the harness? There is no need for a translator, it is old technology. Hell you don't even need a gm maf unless you are making quite a bit of power. The 2g maf will flow quite a bit.

I think a few of you are forgetting that he has a flashable ecu already and will have to purchase a 200 dollar ecu on top of ecmlink to make it work. The taxtrix cable is 169 bucks.

Thanks to all of you guys that are giving me good advice. Unfortunately I need some other help. I started my car today and when I got on the gas a little hard there's a grinding sound about mid 1st and 2nd gear. But it's only if I get on it. What could be the problem? Definitely want to have the maintenance done first.
