why are you getting a turbo back exhaust when you already have a cat-back.....all you need is a downpipe and cat delete, you already have the rest......and you'll have lots of money left over after just a DP and test pipe and dynoflash. An excellent inexpensive boost controller is Hallman MBC....go to www.boostcontrolloer.com

and btw, i would get the Ultimate Racing downpipe b/c it has a flex section, which may not be necessary, but better safe than sorry.

It make no sense to me that you are ditching the HKS catback and go with Buschur Turboback.

It will be better to know your whp goal. That way, it will be easy to analyst your next mod.

the cheapest, easier way to get the most horsepower for that amount of money is the mods i listed earlier.....he should be on the heels of 350whp.....easily running low 12's, maybe 11's if he can drive.....

Well I have the HKS cat but its not installed yet so everything is subject to change ... I just want to make good decisions before I put everything on ....

I dont know if it's true but since I only have roughly a 1000 to spend I think it would be reasonable reach to get to about 300 - 320 whp ...

and btw ... Dynoflash is plug and play right ? how hard is it to DIY ?

So UR DP (325) and Cat Del (75) .. dynoflash (175) ...

As for boost ... is it a good idea to go wif Greddy Profec B spec II ?
I'm not too keen on manual control ...

Thanks for the imput ... much appreciated !

Dynoflash isn't a DIY-type thing, nor is it a physical thing you hook to your car. You actually send Al your ECU, he reprograms it and sends it right back to you. That's the mail-in. Now if you get enough people together Al will come to you and flash the whole group on site.

and no... don't get the profec. I have it and it works ok, but I have to push a lot of buttons every time I start the car just to get it to work properly. Plus many others are cheaper and do the same thing. Learn from my mistake!

A remap and a s**t load of race gas. Hehehehehehehehe!

Ps. And maybe water injection so you can run a little more boost!

I still stand by this if you were 100% stock.
My fault, as I see you already have a catback and a BOV.

As for a Boost controller to meet your needs and stay under $1000 total, your going to have to go with a MBC (for now).

So finish off that exhaust so its full TB, get a MBC for now, and a dynoflash. Then from there i would save for a HKS EVC, new fuel pump, cams, another dynoflash (street tune)

Cams 272, downpipe, chip. Nothing makes more power.

Wish I did these mods first. I did the turboback, intake, Apexi EBC, BOV, which also adds a lot of power.

Don't forget to add the cost for installation too. Unless you DIY, there will be some installation cost.
