2G Worth the Upgrade?

[Spaniel1287]

Right now on my 95 Talon TSI, my mods are as listed:

UICP
Intake
1g BOV
Walbro 190 Pump
MBC
Boost/Oil PSI Gauge
Full 3" Exhaust

My next step is this, I planned on getting a 14b, 550 injectors, datalogger, and SAFC. Is it worth putting those 4 things on my 2g?

Will I notice a much bigger difference in power with those 4 mods and then taking it to a dyno place and having them tune it? Whats your guys take on this? Thanks.

If you plan on going any farther ( I see you do ) the 14B is a great way to start. I have one on my 2G with all the mods you have and acouple more. I would highly recommend you perform this mod you will not be disappointed.

Yes, once you crank up the boost and tune it, you will definitly feel the difference. The upgrade is well worth it.

Have fun let us know what numbers you put down, Stay boostin

I believe you are on the right track there man. The 14b is a good turbo for you.

Hope you enjoy your future purchases and keep on boostin.

HA! Oh yea, you'll feel the difference. You probably can crank the boost up to 15-16 with out running into stock sidemount heat soak issues... You could get away with more with a front mount. I'd say, in the near future get a front mount worthy of an evo3 16g since you have the upgrades that can handle it. So you can upgrade to the evo3 after you get tired of the 14b (or the 14b gets tired of you ).

yes with those bigger injectors you will also need the additive of more air. So that equals more boost. You will feel it with the 14b moreso than the t-25 becasue of its output capacity. The t-25 is really weak compared to a 14b, or any other stock turbo that is on the market.

Just curious why did you post in two different sections, all you had to do is ask one of the moderators to move this one for you, just helping for next time.

Stay boostin

after you turn it to 20 psi it will be VERY worth it

Yes im hoping that after the 14b, 550s, logger, SAFC get put on that I can get it tuned pretty well and show a good timing on the 1/4. If i could hit 14.0 on that setup then i guess id be happy. Seeing that my 2g is Auto FWD i cant really help it that much. But yea after all that i guess itd be time for a 16g which would just be a direct bolt on after all it woudl have all the stuff neccisary to just throw one on. But i dunno how well a 16g would do with the stock SMIC. Those FMIC are so damn expensive. Might as well buy a used one.

You should be able to hit this fairly easy.

Yeah once you start really uping the boost 18+psi you will start to heatsoak you smic. A fmic will be a grade upgrade if you plan to up the boost of 20+ psi.

Have fun with the upgrades.
