i have a 2005 GG MR with 9400 orignial miles. i have all the supporting mods such as
ams licp, uicp, fmic, boost controller, intake, tbe, o2 housing, fuel pump, tial bov. ivey tuned at 316 whp 314 wtq. i have kelford 272 cams an act prostreet clutch and head studs that im about to install but im waiting till i figure out what turbo i want. im shooting for 400whp so my delemia is, do i keep the evo 9 turbo i bought and port it or do i spend the money and get a fp green and a meth kit. im also concerned a little bit about the transmission and tc, because i know the 6spd is weaker then the 5spd. i have been a member for 3 years now and i dont really post cause ive been able to find all my answer through the search but i keep going back and forth on this debate so i figured i would ask some of my fellow members what they thought. any advice is greatly appreciated

 

i am also going to be porting the throttle body and the inlet of the evo 9 turbo. if that makes any difference

 

send your evo 9 turbo in to get upgrade to a HTA GREEN. you will not need meth to make 400 on that thing. I dont understand why you want meth but its your car. port the hotside of it of course and think about getting a ported exhaust manifold or a tubular mainfold for more power. You will be set after that. What about porting intake manifold and T/B

 

send it in to get up graded. cheaper that way. ported intake manifold, ported exhaust manifold and 65mm TB will help put too

 

I agree with rockman you will not need the meth to make your #. it also depends what kind of dyno you want to see this number on. with your cams and supporting mods and IX turbo you should see 400 easy on a dyno jet but you will be pushing the limits of the stock turbo to squeeze much more. I would send in the IX turbo and turn it into a green and you will have you should be able to get your number on a mustang dyno with no issues. This is all of course dependent on a great tune.

 

correct could have all the mods in the world if the tune his crap your car/numbers will be crap

 

HTA Green and you will get to your 400whp with no meth!

 

did i miss when you said what fuel you are using?

 

does not matter the fuel type he will get 400 easy

 

thanks you guys very much. i am using 93 octane and Sean ivey will be tuning my car AGAIN cause he did such a great job the 1st time. i also forgot that i already have a aftermarket exhaust mani. any one have any recommendations on where to send my turbo to have it made into a fp green?........and idk if it makes any difference but the 9 turbo has 44k on it but have ZERO shaft play

 

also when i have ivey do my head studs and cams im going to replace my head gasket. any one out there have a favorite head gasket to use. i am going to spend the money once and do it right the 1st time, so if theres anything im missing please let me know thanks

 

any one know where to send the turbo? or a good head gasket

 

yes and yes. you can only send the turbo to force preformace to get a hta green upgrade

FOR HG stay with stock headgasket no need or anything special unless you stroke your motor but you dont have that now so another stock HG is perfect. Are you upgrading spring and retainer as well? if not your need to consider i highly recommend that. get it done and over with now.

 

damn i was hoping not to have to get valve springs and retainers..... i might as well do it now i guess. i just checked the fp site and i have to see if my turbo is in good enough shape to be upgraded. and recommendations on springs and retainers? thanks alot rockman and everyone else

 

either go with

supertech
kiggleys
beehive
GSC

Either one of those companies make good spring and retainer upgrades
