Do you have any power goals or just leaving it stock? Also breaking your paragraph would be nice ;).

As for giving it more of a racer look (ricer WTF ) if you put a big tach in your car I will hunt you down LOL, DON'T DO IT!! Get a triple gauge pod and get a wideband, boost gauge and whichever else you want and no cheesy tach.

Also before you go nuts, I would do standard maintenance first and for most.
 
Boost leak test, FMIC, better BOV (type s), header, wire tuck, bigger brakes, ECM link, and maybe a system?

A tac? And dont put racing seats or anything else ricey on or in the car, or I WILL find you too. Sounds like youve got a good DSM on your hands, dont #### it up.

Also, dont just change the timing belt, get a FULL brand new timing kit. Belt, pulleys, tensioner, tensioner pulleys, everything. Pick it up from ExtremePSI for 300$

Just give it the Vin Diesel mod. Wife beaters FTW!!!
 
Just a little helpful advice. Instead of asking what to do to your car, do some reading on here and make decisions based on your own opinion and what you'd like for your car. Doing this will also help you understand what youre doing alot better than just going by someone elses opinion ;)
 
i would like to add more horse power to make it faster. i want my car to pull very hard any ideas



i was think of puting the tachmeter that had three lil gauges on it with a shifter light on it?

Lol, unless you're planning on a drag build, or auditioning for F&F, stay away from the HUGE tach and shifter light.
 
First mod should be to move out of The peoples socialist republic of California. After that DSMlink should be next on list as setting the fondation for future mods is key. Do the maintance that you mentioned also and then go from there.

Lmao! Dont you know thats gonna be the whole country in a coupla years? At least cali's big enough you can run and hide from the UN when they start showing up

i think i am going to buy the triple gauge it looks nice and cheap

what do i have to put on my car to rise up my boost pressuer to like 20 psi?
 
Not trying to be harsh but do some reading first before you turn up the boost. In your first post you stated a mod you have done that allows for this. If you don't know that, then start reading and reading and reading.

First and foremost, you need to do research. Dsmtuners offers helpful upgrade paths designed for specific goals, such as basic hp upgrades, drag racing, road racing, etc.

Tech Guide - DSMtuners

It sounds to me like you just want some more power so, I suggest reading this:
Tech Guide: 2G 4G63t Upgrades - DSMtuners

Now, the only aspect that I don't agree with in the upgrade path, and this is my personal opinion, is that tuning/logging is not a strict priority. I strongly feel that this should come first if your goals are performance based (or even if they aren't).

With that said, and considering your situation, I think that ecuflash, evoscan, and a wideband should be your next mods. However, it's going to take a significant amount of research and effort on your part...

Please don't get it. You will have a lot of ANGRY DSMs showing up at your place to eradicate that gauge. No one likes an angry DSM.

Do as the other's stated. 15psi is pushing it on a stock-ish setup, but anything past that, you really need a wideband and some way to tune, whether it be a GM MAF, link or EMS. Turning to 20psi without anything else will cause headaches and bye bye fun car.

x2! but seriously don't get a tach..... it's very.... tachy. just get the triple pillar pod, they are something I love without making it be ricey n such. vent pods as well? colored hoses in the bay, stainless steel lines ect.

To me the a pillar pod setup is kinda tacky. I went with replacing the center vent section. Looks a little more 'factory'

But aside from the steering column which IMO looks like shit where else would you put them that wouldn't require you to remove some other function of the car like the vents.
 
I'd look into ecuflash/evoscan since you have a 99. It is cheap and there are a lot of people starting to use it now instead of ecmlink. I'd get some sort of tuning setup and then more fuel and then a bigger turbo. :thumb:
 
I would put a front mount intercooler for more of an outside racing look, as for inside deffinatley some a-pillar gauges, or a sparco steering wheel and adapter hub?
