NEED NEXT MOD IDEAS

 

I might have a stock IX turbo for you. Its got a whopping 4300miles on her

 

Excuse my ignorance but what is a TRE fuel pump? Is it TRE or RRE?

 

should'be bought the exhaust first then the boost controller.Yeah what is a tre fuel pump, hopefully you didn't get it of ebay.There are knock-off fuel pumps so buy parts carefully.my best advice is stick with ams/buschur or anyother vendor here with package deals,trust me you don't want to be buying twice like i did.good luck

 

the tre is like a walbro some say some things are better about it like it stay cooler ect... but its def not e bay picked it up at midnight performance in sacrmento ca

and i already bought exhaust just not here yet

 

Get that 9 turbo asap. i loved it when i threw one on my car.

 

without a tune with the fuel pump and mbc can i run 21psi safely what about when i get my tbe installed cuz a tune is like 1 month away and i want to get a good time thanks

 

Yes you can run 21 psi it will be fine. If anything goes wrong or the stock ecu see's something go wrong the stock ecu will pull timeing its like a safe mode you dont hurt anything. But with thouses mods your ok.

But if you want the best performance out your parts you got to get the car tuned. I would say with the mods your getting its really not needed untill you get the 272's cams I ran hks 280's fine on stock turbo and got great power out of it thats just a thought.

 

i was just thinking 272 cuz the idle but are 280's ok on the street and hows the pwer diff from 272 to 280 thanks

 

I ran 280's on my daily driven VIII and had no problems at all

 

thanks now ill probably get 280's performance wise what do 280's improve thanks

 

Have you thought about LICP?

 

Should get a wideband.

 

Anything outside of hks 280's is to much for stock turbo. The performance is the same as the 272's but a lil more top end. On a stock turbo you should see a good 10-25 whp depending on tune.

 

Aren't the 2005 turbos the same as the 9 turbos? Now if you had an 03 like me then the 9 turbo makes sense, which is why I am running one.
