People normally upgrade the fuel pump before going to bigger injectors. but this is just planning for the future. I would upgrade the fuel pump to an Aeromotive 340 drop in kit and possibly get some 1100+ cc injectors and go E85. you would get a nice gain with a good tune and still be reliable. And that would be really fun on the stock turbo until you get used to it and get bored, then you want to go big on the turbo.

 

I am a Marine as well, 0311 Fox co. 2/5. I am however in the Army now due to my left shin is held together with Titanium and screws and the Marines felt it too big of a health risk or some crap like that. My GF is one of a kind and not just because she bought me a car, but because she stood by me through thick and thin, and is very supportive of my military career. You of all people know how big of a sacrifice she had to make as well as the one you and I gladly do.

I have the FMIC and pipes on the way, going to try and find a full exhaust, now turbo back vs. header back? Does a header make that much of a difference on a stock turbo?



Sorry for the novel

 

I wouldn't worry about an exhaust mannifold, a.k.a. headers yet. Mid 12's should be quite easy. And make sure the downpipe that you get is a downpipe/O2. Look at ETS's, AMS's, and MAP's to see what I mean..

 

Your... girlfriend?

WTF... Did you already ask her to marry you? lol!

Grats! nice color! my RA was Graphite Gray... love the way the GG glows under sunlight
