1. TBE = 800
2. LICP = 145
3. MBC = 100
4. MR DV = 120
5. Flash = 200 (or S-AFC w/logger for 400)
6. Cams = 550
7. Walbro 255 = 90

$2005 for 330-350whp with no tuning control
$2205 for 330-350+whp with manual tuning control

Dont forget install prices

I would do:

1) Buschur TBE (most cost efffective, lightweight, and produces ALOT of power) (remember to get the highflow cat and magnaflow option)
2) Dynoflash (mail in)
3) MBC
4) Autometer BOOST GUAGE (most important)


I've been running this set up for over 45K miles and no problems. It's the best bang for the buck I feel. Plus you will be let over with $!!!!!


Good luck!

If he is paying to have all of his parts installed, then the whole thread goes out the window, and he won't get to purchase much at all. He already has a boost gauge, so he doesn't have to worry about that unless his factory one is broken.

He needs the DV with the MBC, so why would he drop it? It's inexpensive, easy to install, and very useful/necessary along with boost control.

you will regret not getting a ebc. ive had many turbo cars and its such a pain in the a$$ having to get out pop the hood and mess with a mbc all time. and dont believe the lie's! every time the air temp changes more than 5-8 degrees( up or down) your car will boost different with any boost controller not ecu controlled. pro for mbc (cheap) con (pain in the a$$) thats my 02cents.
as far as what to get. your options are endless. if you want power here is one option. mine
helix dp 250 +-
custom exh 450
ijen intake kit 395
greddy spec 2 (already owned) around 365
dyno flash 200
forged bov 170
total 1800 +- most you can install
last dyno had problems with afrs and only 19psi got 279/255
now running 21.5-22 psi like i should be. assumed now 300/300 or close to
best 1/4 mile run pump gas@21 psi 12.68 @ 108
best 1/4 mile on mix 92/c14 @ 23 psi 12.36 @110.7
everyone has differnt ways and its up to you to find whats best for you. hope some of this helps ya out. ps spent the extra the $ and get a ebc. you will not regret it

Lightweight Battery kit and save the rest for a "When my clutch breaks" fund.
The 3 inch exhaust is good for over 500+whp. Why on earth should he pay more money for something that is not even needed? 3.5 inch is overkill! Please don't give bad info to people when they are looking for help.

Boost cont-$60-80
TT reflash tune-you quoted $200____
Total----$1880
In my previous post you will notice that with the cam's I added an install price because this is something that most people don't know how to do. The exhaust and boost controller can be installed by yourself in a couple hours or faster. This also leaves extra money to pay for shipping cost or another part(lower pipe).

To be perfectly honest with you I would save up about another $1-2,000 and buy everything at once. Don't be in a hurry to buy parts quickly. Wait for group buys or a sale.
