i was at a shop and the guy told me that a turbo back w/highflow cat, intercooler, intercooler pipeing, blow off valve and a reflash on the ecu would get me about 350hp to the wheels and high 11's in the 1/4 all for only $2,700. is this for real and what do you think of the price

 

maybe 1500 to 1800 depending on brands, maybe more. not real sure.

 

that's BS

 

switch intercooler with cams and these are reasonable numbers for an 05 from what I've seen posted. Maybe a little optimistic. Probably closer to 340 awhp

 

I'd say not a chance with only just the mods you're listing. With an intercooler and IC pipes, I'd say you'd only gain about 20 whp max. BOV will do nothing but hold your boost. and without a MBC it's useless as the stock one holds fine at stock levels. Did you forget to list some things?

 

And for 2,700... you can get a HKS 30th anniversary for 600, HKS downpipe for 300, test pipe from UR or whatever for 100, HKS intercooler for 1,000 (comes with all piping except upper) and HKS SSQV for 400 with upper ic piping. Custom tune for 400. That's a total of 2,800 w/ arguably some of the best performance parts out there. Buy the stuff yourself.

 

nope that was it 5 things unless he is gonna do something he didn't tell me because i just asked what i need to do to get around 350 to the wheels and low 12's and this is what he told me know iam new at the import sceen and no nothing about these cars besides the fact iam haveing to much fun in it so far

 

i have megan racing turbo back exaust, k&n filter with adapter a MBC set at 22 psi and an ECU flash by www.jestrtuning.com and i put down 364 awhp. so its possible, i havent been to the track but im not sure if my car is 11 seconds, maybe mid to low 12s at best

 

Its possible ... low 12s or high 11s ... you may need cams ...

 

Yeah, but those numbers are inflated by that Aerocomp dyno. You are maybe at 320whp. 364 would be 11s without trying. If your car is only capable of mid-to-low 12s, then you're barely over 300awhp at best.

 

No, this is absurd. The mods are wrong and so is the price...

To get 350whp, you need:

TBE (test pipe; not HF cat) - 800
Cams - 600
MBC/gauge - 175
Tuning device (piggyback, standalone, or CUSTOM flash) - 400
BOV (hold the increased boost) - 120-300
Fuel pump - 85

That's about 2300 + whatever installs you'd need to pay for. So, in the end, you would probably pay $2700 or more for 350whp, but this is with more parts, though the proper parts.

FMIC and IC piping are both a big waste of money (as early mods) and will not give a significant gain in WHP with the stock turbo. If you have the above mods, you would then go with injectors, FMIC, IC piping, tubular manifold, O2 housing, alky kit, etc., but a lot of those are best when combined with a larger turbo.

Btw, 350whp would get you high 11s with good driving, so that part was right.

 

need more than that to get into the 11s

 

im going to start by saying im not trying to be a dick, and i sure as hell dont know anything when it comes to evos yet, but the best thing you can do is read everything you can on this forum and others until you get an idea as to what will best acomplish your goals. do yourself a favor and stay away from any tuning shop until you know what youre looking for, that way when you go back not only are you informed, but you wont get ripped off. you did the right thing by coming on here and asking people's educated opinions before you went out and actually did anything so youre on the right track. this is my sports car and first import too ( had 2 jeeps) so im in the same boat as you. read up and then make your move, youll be much happier. good luck

 

If you wanna be informed, listen to what Wartalon was saying in his post.

I know he sounds like a know-it-all , but he is dead on in his statement about mod sequence and price estimates. If your looking for 350hp on a dynojet, those are the mods you need. If you can do some of the work yourself and find good deals you'll be able to shave quit a bit off the prices.
