Turbo advice and other mods
That's good man. The only thing you have that I don't have is the ARP head studs which I plan to get and the 10.5 hotside. That's impressive. The meth Im looking into that now cause Im really considering but I dont know much about it. thats why I started a forum to learn about meth(not this one another one)
Meth is a good thing though.. I love it and will never look back (unless my engine blows). If you have any questions about it, just PM me.
if all you plan on running is pump or ump /meth:
i suggest getting a used e9 turbo, keep your invidia o2, as it is better than any ebay style o2, as the i.d. of the invidia o2 housing is larger 2.8" vs. 2.4"....if this doesnt matter, than why are people running 3" exhaust....yeah, thats what i thought.
if you want cams, buy some used hks 280's with adj cam gears.
get tuned.
if you have money to spare, get your exh man & turbine housing ported. this will add transient response & mid/top end power too.

I didn't see stock cams. I retract my previous statement. Still no need for headstuds. Too many cars running 28+ and no problems. I haven't heard of a head going because of it yet. I have heard of more heads leaking because of the installation.
We are even then..
On an 8 yes you need one. I would suggest a IX fuel pump. You can get them very cheap any they will supply almost 390whp. I have yet to max mine out.
What makes you think you need a pump on stock turbo on an 8? What's the flow difference between an 8 and 9? And where's your proof?
We learned a few interesting things, especially with the EVO VIII & IX pumps. The EVO VIII pump has a pressure relief valve that opens up at around 65-68psi and the flow output drops dramatically after that
But thanks for the link anyway.. it was a good read!

Would I need 280's insead of 272's? I thought 280's were used for racing and 272's were used for street/strip? 280's would be too much on a stock head or no?

I wouldn't do 280's. Stick with the S1's. Proven themselves and great for stock style turbos.
You can make the same hp as a megan but with more torque on a ported stocker. Also if you know how to port it is free. If not people with the name starting with R and ending with O can do it.
