cobb downpipe
cobb hfc
magnaflow catback
cobb stage 2 aem 93 oct
cobb front and rear sway bars
exedy cerametalic clutch


I am slowly modding the car en enjoying each new part i put inthe car, one at a time. so wihich do you think my next mod should be to gain some more power. i am more than pleased with the handling with the new sway bars.

 

upper and lower inter cooler piping and maybe a tune.

 

no intercooler?

 

Well, it would seem you're currently knocking out the bolt-on mods for power and only have a few left to go. I would go for an intercooler/intercooler pipe setup. The upper pipe has shown to give some minor gains, but it isn't really breaking the bank to get it either. The intercooler will cost you a little bit more, but while it doesn't necessarily gain power for you, it will gain consistency in the power your engine can maintain as it gets hotter.

 

I just added a grimmspeed 3 port and a Perrin recirc BOV and my boost is MUCH better at higher RPM's... that would be an idea, I already had a TBE, UICP, Drop in filter and was stage 2 AP.

 

so IC piping is next......thank's, thats waht i thougt so

 

dont waste your time with a LICP

 

^ I guess you would recommend the SSQV so he can here it.

Your stock BOV will work fine for your needs at this time.

 

meth

 

What about a BOV or WGA??

 

what do you suggest?

 

LICP doesn't really give you any gains, atleast on the stock turbo. I went ahead and changed mine tho.

I would do intercooler pipes and an intercooler if you have the money. Maybe get give Mellon a call and get them to get you a tune via e-mail for your AP. That would make a big difference over the AP map.

 

Upper Intercooler Piping + Intercooler

With a tune that will give you some good gains.. plus on hot days an upgraded intercooler will definitely help versus the stock intercooler. Someone on here had a graph of the intake vs. intake plenum air temp deltas and it was like night and day after the swap.

 

I'm vote #4 or so for the UICP and Intercooler without a doubt. I think that's a good next step for you.

 

The stock LICP is a nice piece.

I only changed mine for methanol jet install, simpler to weld a bung in in my mind.
