Well I have a long term vision in mind of these mods and would like to know which order I should do them in. I can not spend all the money up front and just do them all, but I plan on doing them over the next 1 to 2 years. Any advice on what I should get and when would be greatly appreciated. The main reason I am asking is I don't want to waste money on flashes and such that I don't need to. Also If you think I need any other supporting mods please let me know. I will probably buy many used parts to do these upgrades.


Long Term Goal:
Header, DP, Cat Delete, Catback
K&N Filter
MBC (Which one?)
Flash (dyno or mailin from who?)
Cams
Fuel Pump
ACT Clutch/fly wheel

Thanks for your 2 cents

 

Start with the Warrtalon/Buschur package
- buschur turboback(dp, cat delete, cat back)
- Forge MBC
- Dynoflash

 

if you cant afford the buschur turboback yet, start with the dynoflash and mbc. but the warrtalon package is a really good starting point

 

Do all that over 2 years? That might be tough, but this is the order you should follow:

- Boost gauge
- Filter
- MBC (Forge UNOS, of course)
- Fuel pump
*MAIL-IN DYNOFLASH*

- cat-back
- test pipe
- downpipe
*MAIL-IN DYNOFLASH*

- header
- cams
*CUSTOM DYNOFLASH*

- Clutch way later after 2 years or so on the stock clutch

 

1st-I would do the Flash and K&N at the same time, I have a WORKS P2 and i love it!! Very safe and smooth, and you can have them set it for your desired boost. My mods are in my sig, i boost 25>22 PSI with no MBC.

2nd- I would do a whole turbo back, you don't really need the header just DP, Cat delete, and catback to start. If you have to have a header, check out BUSCHUR ported and coated stock manifold. Amazing piece + no cracking!


3rd- Do your cams and fuel pump, VERY NOTICABLE power with cams, they're great!!!

All of my mods in my sig were done within 3 months , i wish i had your patience, you could save a lot of money going used...

 

I would not recommend waiting on the fuel pump that long.

I also would not pay attention to him saying he runs 25psi, because he runs 100oct all the time.

I also would not recommend an expensive Works flash, because you can't get free reflashes unless you get all your mods from them, which are ridiculously expensive.

 

Man, This is why i don't post too much

I wasn't telling him to run 25 PSI. I was simply saying that i run 25 PSI with NO MBC...

And why would he need a fuel pump with only Filter, Flash, and TBE?? I understand it's insurance, but he doesn't NEED one for those mods without cams, especially if modding slowly and on a budget the way he wants to do it.... My 2 cents, that's all he asked for....

 

You failed to mention the 100oct, which is not a good idea. You need to also mention that when saying you run 25psi so that newbies don't get the wrong idea.

The fuel pump is exactly that - insurance. We've had enough rod bearing failures recently that it makes no sense to get flashed without at least installing an $85 fuel pump. Especially in your situation running 25psi - that's why you need the pump, not because of the cams. If he's modding on a budget, why would you suggest anything from Works to begin with, though?

Thanks for the thoughts, I have ordered my Catback for $300 shipped I already have K&N and I will do the Mail in Flash, Pump, and MBC after my first couple AutoX events this year. I would like a small chance to compete and the MBC/Flash would not allow that unless I stick like $5g more into my car which I am not planning on doing.

Do you all recommend the flash over a piggy back?

 

Why would you advice a MBC and not a Fuel pump?

Noobs will want to turn that boost up and will just get anotehr "I blew my engine thread"

 

Yeah, go have fun in STU if you can, because that's better for us than A-stock. Then, you can do the MBC and other stuff but still be in BSP, which isn't quite as bad as SM, but still pretty rough, heh.

 

Stop kissing ***, Warr was just explaing himself...

 

A fuel pump is definitely insurance. I will agree with that. However, I don't think it HAS to be the top priority for minimal mods. If I only had $85.00 to spend on a bone stock evo, it wouldn't be a fuel pump.. rather, a MBC.

But I hear you about the pump.. I just don't think it will start to be a factor until you are over 300awhp.
