Hi guys, so i changed my down pipe to the muffler with an hks and replaced my upper intercooler pipe with a MAP performance stainless steel, with that few bolt ons, i was wondering what is the most torque and hp i can get with it? I want it to be daily reliable, and my gas is the v-power racing of shell.

 

not much more than stock unless you get a drop in filter and an electronic boost solenoid. Down pipe is literally the last thing that needs to done in say stage 2. The intercooler piping is good for literally 0 hp.

 

A lot of people would say this and the opposite as well. I've heard drop ins are just as good as a open air type of intake such as a cone and that it depends on the type of climate your in. If your dusty dry area the drop in would be ideal but if your not in that area of elements than a intake( cone) would be just as ideal. I went with cone intake. youll get no increase in performance e really without a tune just keel that in mind. The intercooler pipes dont add hp BUT they do help the in creating boost a little faster. Downpipe is yes, pretty much last thing to do. Remember op almost everything you do to these cars if it changes the air fuel ratio or anything will need a tune or everything you do is pointless and can actually hurt without doing the necessary things following add ins. Boost controller can add some gains but you'll need a tune to unlock the potential from it. I have a 15 evox. Give you a idea of what I've done to it so far and my results .

About 4500 in what I've spent so far.

 

Solid upgrades. Now that I have changed out the IC and both upper and lower piping (all ETS like yourself), it gets into boost quicker which is fun.

When I was running just Cobb OTS tunes and a drop in, I don't think it would have made as much of a difference.

probably not, maybe few horses either way. Or dependant on your tuner also as to how far they feel comfortable pushing the limits of what you have so far.

Only thing let I need done is downpipe. But I had plans to change the turbo soon. And since I'm there i was looking at a tubular turbo manifold as well. So all 3 will get changed at once here soon when I make my mind upon what turbo I want.
