which mod is the best for me right now??

[LTUDSM]

I got some money now and I'm thinking to get those parts:

3in APEX N1 catback system with Megan 3 in downpipe

GM MAF with the MAFT,bigger TB elbow,3in upper intercooler pipe with HKS Bov

Front mount intercooler

Apexi SAFC II

HKS Cam gears and the Camshaft

Check my mods guys and tell me which one of those things i need to get first, Thanks a lot

go with the exhaust and downpipe first. also instead of cam gears and camshaft get some injectors instead.

agreed. exhaust/downpipe first. Performance+sound gains! . However, correct me if i am wrong, but isn't 3" intercooler piping way big for a mild setup? or are you shooting for an all out money aint a thing drag demon? Please correct me if i wrong because i have seen many 400hp+ dsms with 2.5" piping max.

Definitely get some injectors, fuel pump, regulator, and a safc. You're gonna notice a good difference once the 3" turbo back is put on. 3" icp is a lot but bigger is always better in this case. Once your FMIC is slapped on the car is gonna loose a pound of boost but you'll make up for it in torque. So a manual boost controller is another good investment. Good luck.

Complete 3" exhaust will free up the most power. I would look into a 3" O'2 Eliminator down pipe. RNR makes a great one. Also as already said you need injectors to feed that 16g before you lean it out too much. Injectors and fuel control and as always you cannot tune without a logger.

WRONG


Bigger is not always better for intercooler pipes, otherwise everyone would be running 17" intercooler pipes. It takes less time to fill a 2.5" piece of pipe than it does to fill a 3" pipe of the same length. Running a huge intercooler pipe can cause the turbo to spool slower because it has more volume to fill. Flow is another thing that matters. Yes, a 3" pipe can flow more air, but a 2.5" will be sufficient for him until he is running more boost on a much larger turbo than stock. So no, bigger is not always better when dealing with intercooler pipes
