Excellent, sorry I never included the boost gaurge in my list of "mods". I dont really see that as a mod but it is already on and working. Im going to go with the Utec, I stayed up doing some research last night and decided around 3am. Thanks for the help guys!

 

I am pretty new Steevo, and I have just a few mods, but fromn what I can read, and the rout that I am going to take, being new like you, will be the essentials to not having my car blow up.

turbo timer (saves Turbo from building up the oil),

gauges (its a good idea to have equipment letting you know how hot you oil is, where boost is peaking or dropping at,

and fuel/air ratio to know if you headers are to hot, and finally a BOV, the sounds kicks ARZ, and I heard that it is better for the car and turbo. I used a Recirc just to keep everything good, and it still sounds loud and AWSOME.

again these are just my opinions and I am new just like you, but after these minor mods can be done, then you can be sure that all other mods you put in, at least you know your car has the porper tools to manage it.

 

a/f ratio will not let you know anything about temps. For that you would need an EGT gauge.

 

Like I said I am new to all this, so sorry about that. Believe me when I wrote it, I thought it was the truth. Sorry guys...

 

Boost Gauge - maybe EGT, and A/F also
Tuning device - AMS EMS / Utec etc (or a flash depending on mod path)
Cams - lots of threads on these to research!
with some cams you will need spring / values / retainers / head studs
Fuel pump
Lower Intercooler Piping (AMS sells this, maybe more)

That'll spend it!

 

Boost controller and tune it.

 

I noticed that the intercooler piping was extremely small. I was surprised to see that.

Im not new to the turbo game(just the evo's), I have an 03 SRT-4 as well and Ive had it since last October. Whats the power gains on the AMS piping, anyone know?

 

Utec came in today! YEAAAA! Also bought a NX intercooler sprayer, and next week Im getting the cams and cam cam gears.
