So un-decided on what I want next....
The intercooler mod is as bad as the bov mod.....everybody does it and its not needed.
BTW: your 2.3l and 500hp anaolgy is probably the worst one i've ever heard, and it makes no sense at ALL.
I've been seeing EVO9 turbos selling on EBAY for $350. This would be the best way to pick up 30whp and not lose any driveability.
When I had my eight I went from the 9.8 to the 10.5 and then to the EVO9 turbo. there are handsome increases to be had for each but I would recommend the EVO9 turbo. If you decide you want more power later have it modified into the 20G.
You aren't going to see any power from a LICP and UICP. Even the FMIC is actually a step backwards on a stock turbo. Why add weight and lag to the car if you don't need it. I got suckered into that on my 8 as well. I ended up going back to stock. You aren't going to heat soak the stocker on a drag race pass unless you are running your stock turbo higher than recommended.
Right now your turbo is limiting your cams and boost. Tossing on the EVO9 turbo with bigger cold and hotside will give you better returns than piping and FMIC.
Instead of buying parts that might help later.... buy parts that you will enjoy now. You may decide you don't need to upgrade to some laggy **** monster turbo after all.
Driving an 11 second instant spooling stock turbo evo is a blast. I would hate to have to wait for power especially at partial throttle.
