No, I think you just need the JDM 9 or USDM 10 for logging purpose. You don't need it to control the boost. You just need a pill.

 

how much hp do you get from ecuflash?

 

Best Bang For Buck Mod is a Used MBC (Manual Boost Controller)
you can buy a Dejon MBC for $20.

 

planning on ordering full perrin exhaust.....

 

Do you need the boost guages, wideband, or upgraded MAP Sensor and GM Boost solinoid for these upgrades?

Thanks in advance. Sounds like the OP and I are on a similiar quest.

 

Idk if its been said already, (probally has)....Driving school

 

Exedy twin disc!

 

at ~2 grand...NOT the best bang for the buck

 

i dont think there is a need for a twin disc unless you are planning on going 450+ hp or planning on doin alot of launches

 

Do you need a manual boost controller if you get a tune? I'm aiming for 330whp. So far I have a K&N drop in, AMS turboback with test pipe and ETS LP2 to be installed. I am on the fence about getting a cone filter and fuel pump since my goals are 330. I plan on having Jestr tune my car once the TBE and LP2 are on. Do you guys think I need to add a cone filter and fuel pump for my target power goals? Also do I need a manual boost controller or can boost be controlled by the ECU tune?

Thanks

 

You dont "need" those things to get what you want. A boost gauge is always nice. Worry about the upgraded map sensor and gm boost solenoid later down the road.

 

get a MBC so you can turn your boost up. And if you have all those mods, a nice set of cams should get you a little closer to 330.

 

What if I add an (old) FP Green, or TME 20G 10.5, running 22-24psi?

 

since its a IX MR... in your shoes, if all you want it some quick bolt on power for a fun street car...

injen intake kit with upper and lower IC piping - 350
turbo back exhaust - 300-800 depending on what you want
hallman RX pro MBC - 80 used
tune at 23psi - 250 usually
ACT full face street disc clutch - 900 with flywheel
underhood shifter bushings- 35 (changes the whole feel of the shifter)

you will easily have 350-360 awhp, and have no problems at all, as long as you dont shift passed 7K RPMs, and you dont bang 5th gear... the car will last forever with basic maintenance and that power level... i have almost the same setup, minus the clutch and upper IC pipe, and my car pulls like a raped ape

 

also see some people using gm 3 port with wastegate wired shut? any input?
