What else to do????
What else to do????
1. So my current set-up is Megan TBE, INJEN LICP, UICP, Intake with filter, Perrin MBC, Boost guage and that's it.
2. My future purchaces in order will be Walbro Fuel Pump, ARP head studs, some type of manifold that will allow the stock turbo to be connected, EVO 9 BOV, and mail -in Tune (look's like Mellon is the winner so far).
3. This is just for engine performance right now, not suspension yet, that is next after I have reached my goal in power which is 300-350 AWHP. Acheiveable on stock turbo and EVO 9 BOV????
4. As of now I want to remain realistic on HP Gains versus Driveability. Don't want to go to far where I need to begin replacing major parts such as Clutch and flywheel. I am not to experienced in that yet. So far alll the parts except the downpipe was installed by me.
Any advice on paragraph 2??

300-350 is not that difficult to achieve (depending on the dyno). I would use the stock manifold or get it ported. Purchase cams instead of the manifold.
BTW, I'm at 338/365 and have stock clutch....50k miles. If you plan on launching the car, then you may have the clutch problem. Road courses and daily driving are no problems whatsoever

As far as the clutch goes, an aftermarket one is well worth the time and money, this way you can do 350whp all day, including launches, and you wont have to sweat over it. Also when you get bored of that power (which you will) you can upgrade more parts and not worry about the clutch disinigrating.
have you given a thought into injectors? cheap and easy to upgrade..
btw 300 on that 9 turbo and bov is duable i have seen it done
and jus sold my 9 turbo to a guy 2 days ago that is upgrading his 8 turbo to my 9
to do some 300+ GL
