Your opinion on what mod I do next.

[adamism]

So I'm really stuck on what I should do next... My current mods are :

Small 16G ported
Injen Intake
Apexi N1 exhaust
RRE 3" downpipe
1st gen bov
Walbro 190pump
Apexi S-AFC2
Manual Boost Controller
Gauges

I want to start turning up the boost and feeling real power? What should be next?

Also, what do you think I'm at in the 1/4 mile? I haven't had a chance to run but I've really been wondering. And one more question, about how much hp do you think I'm putting out. Thanks!

i/c piping
FMIC
ported manifold
ported o2 housing
injectors
datalogger

with these you should be able to turn boost around 20-22psi

I dont see injectors on that list. It have just been left out but you should at least get 550's and a datalogger. That will help you get the most out of that setup.

If or when I get 550's will I be able to safely turn up the boost or would I need a FMIC, also?

Its not needed for a 16G but it would be a big help, especially if you turned up the boost. The stock sidemount will get heat socked fairly quickly.

Yeah, like boostedinaz said. Eventually with a 16G you are going to want to run more boost. When you do your going to need that FMIC. Anymore they are not that expensive for the benefits they provide. It's really about safety at this point. Do you want to risk all your hard work on that stock side mount. At the very least I would take it off and clean it.

If you plan to go all out one day you might want to consider ditching the AFC-2 for a DSMlink with the wideband option. That would also allow you to eliminate the cost of the logger.

My vote goes for the datalogger, it will help you get the maximus performance out of what you have.

My friend has a datalogger and that's what we use to tune my car with. So I don't really need my own. We logged in third gear and noticed my timing was a little low. Maybe from heatsoak?

I guess a front mount would be my best choice. But they are so damned expensive!

Heatsoak will do that. Yes, they are expensive, but you will need one to produce the power you are looking for.

Depends on what you think is expensive. A few years ago they ran like 1200 bucks. Now you can get them for under 900 easy.
