that oil pressure gauge saved my motor countless times, doesnt hurt to be safe.

 

You need to get a Walbro 255 and a larger FMIC and get it tuned to 20+ PSI. If you want more power, I recommend getting the evo 9 turbocharger

 

Since you don't know much about the car I vote for preventive maintenance. Yeah it's not what you want to spend your mod money on but it'll save you in the long run. When that's done figure out if want to learn how to tune it or not. If you do, buy a Tactrix cable, EvoScan, ECUFlash, a wideband, and a 3 or 4 bar MAP sensor and you'll be ready to start learning.

 

how about just figure out what u want the car to do first.
from experience, i should have stayed on track towards my goal but i shy-ed away and kinda regretting. even tho its absolutely fun the way it is, im just regretting a few mods.

 

Ya I agree with this plus a boost gauge, I went with aem and haven't regret it. But for the mods I would get ets licp, or just get the complete injen ic piping set cuz you already have the intake then get a Walbro 255 fuel pump, fmic, and ported exhaust manifold then a tune. You'll make good power there. But one thing I'm gonna say and a lot more are prabably gona say too is RESEARCH before you do anything and learn more about the car before you mod it. Good luck man

 

I do have a boost gauge. But it's the stock one. I'm not to sure what a wide band is. But getting gauges sounds good. I've got wires and plugs. Haven't changed the trams fluid. It's my daily driver too. Thanks fr the help I think I have a good idea now

 

Thanks to wide band you can see how rich or lean you air/fuel mixture is.dont throw bunch of money on useless gauges just to look cool.AEM wide band you can buy for $180.

 

I agree with preventative maintanence first.

 

cams, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, lower ic, o2 housing + tune

 

Step 1: Go to bank
Step 2: Withdraw all available funds
Step 3: Throw money at car
Step 4: Enjoy

 

Check for boost leaks. Check the tune. Take care of any maintenance that is due. Pick up a wideband O2.

Make sure everything is safe before you start adding performance parts.

 

Best advice yet ! Lmao

 

I can't believe how many of you guys are recommending performance parts when he has no idea on the history of the car. Seriously, do preventive maintenance. Also, see if you can find someone around you with ECUFlash/EvoScan to see what's up with your tune and how it's running.

 

You guys are a lot of help! I think I got an idea. I'm gonna pick up some gauges so I can see where all that is at. Ill probably ask what's a safe ratio for the psi I'm running lol. I think I have the injen licp. And idk how to check it for a tune and I don't know any places around here that can. I'm in Roseburg Oregon so there's nothin around here lol

 

I think I need a upgraded fuel filter cause when I start it cold and push on the gas to go it like cuts out. Only if I don't let it warm up for about 5 min
