What Should I Expect?

[b4christ15]

Just finished putting in new spark plugs and doing an oil change, so my car is in good running condition. I'm about to order a Dave Brode UICP with a 1g BOV. Just wondering the results, if any, will I see from this small upgrade? Also, I plan on ordering an intake with filter this weekend. Is it ok to pick up a MBC and boost 15psi with just these couple mods. Don't know if I need more fuel or not. Any help is really appreciated.

1. Make sure you get a boost gauge first.

2. Check for boost leak after the uip install before you go WOT, trust me on this.

3. 15 psi will be fine provided that it's leak free. After you upgrade your fuel pump, you should be able to get maybe 16-17psi out of the T25 but anything more will require bigger turbo and injectors.

good luck.

I took care of the boost gauge mod about 2 weeks ago, did that first. As for the boost leak tester, I'll make sure everything is good. I don't plan on running anything over 15 psi anyway so I should be fine on the stock fuel system. Thanx.......BTW where you at in NJ?

As for the boost leaker tester, I'm gonna do that before I install the UICP and BOV and make sure everything is good. BTW where you at in NJ?

The whole point of doing the leak test is because of the uip and bov install, you should do it after not before. Dayton is part of South Brunswick.

You're welcome, maybe I'll see you at Englishtown one of these days. If I can get my car running that is.

Yah, I plan on making a trip to E-Town soon. Good luck with the car, hope everything goes well.

I ran 15 psig with the UICP and 1G BOV with no problems. You shouldn't run anything over 15 pounds, it's hard on the T-25, and you may start to run out of fuel. Check the upgrade path . Here's an example of what kind of gains you can expect to see with various mods.
