Hey im thinking about buying the AMS stage 1 and 2 packages on there website. Stage 1 gives you the following, Cone Style Air Filter, AMS Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust, AMS Manual Boost Controller Kit, Apexi AFC-II, Stewart Warner Boost Gauge W/ Carbon Fiber Gauge Cup and stage 2 comes with AMS Racing Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade, Smooth Flow I/C Piping, AMS 3” Full Stainless Downpipe, AMS 3” Stainless Steel Testpipe, and NGK BPR7ES Spark Plugs x 4. it will cost $2425 shipped to my door. is it really worth it or should i just buy things individual? they claim it will be making 400hp after all that stuff is installed. Is this worth it or not? thanks.

 

if u do ur shoppin wit 2500 u can have cams and everything..yea it mite 400 crank hp..but def not whp..ul make over a lil over 300whp wit that set up..but wit 2500 wit cams u can have 330-40whp!!

 

dont get a acf-2..i see u live in li so jus get the car dynoflash..ul make much move power

 

honestly i was heading going more my own way buying things instead of the ams packagges. the list i came up with is only costing 3000$ for more stuff it goes, hks hi-power exhaust, apexi gt dp, helix test pipe, hks bov, injen hard piping w/ intake, dynoflash, hallman bc, turbo timer w/ harness, b&m shifter, walbro fp, and cams

 

also according to AMS when u do cams u should also do either 680cc or 780cc injectors, walbro 255fp, and arp headstuds. will i have to do this to run cams right?

 

u dont need injectors for cams..u jus need a fuel pump and headstuds

 

if u shop around ul find things for great prices

 

Megan Racing 3in TBE $550 shipped
K&N Drop in $65-70
MR DV BOV $120
Hallman BC $140-150
AMS lower IC $175
Walbro 255lph $95
HKS 272's $550-600
Dynoflash Customer tune $400

Total $2145

Im sure you could shop around and find better dealers on some stuff.

 

Wow, Riverside, did you copy that from one of the 100 times I've posted the exact same list in response to other such threads? I'm impressed.

I recommend the _exact_ same mods, and those prices are just right except the MBC, which can be had for $85-90 (Hallman Pro, Forge UNOS, Turbosmart Tee).

 

ur also gonna need a boost gauge if u run a mbc

 

wut i would get is

3inch turbo back
hks rs intake
mr bov is good
for a mbc hallman for a ebc blitz or hks
i would do a full ic pipe kit or at least get t-bolt clamps for ur stock ic pipin
fuel pump
272s
boost gauge

and thats about it

 

I recommend those aswell except 280s, but whatever you want

 

yea 280s are only good for big turbo built motors

Sorry not to Hijack thread but i was wondering if this setup would be reliable for a street ride? I have heard cams will make the idle a little erattic? But i wasn't sure... thanks in advance
