TBE then MBC, then FLASH! = $1500

 

^^^ you will be very happy with those mods

 

a MBC. they are cheap and will net you some real good whp.

 

Thanks for the advise but what is MBC???? You can bust my ***** all you want but I'm new at this abrevation stuff.

 

Manual Boost controller = MBC, there's also Electronic versions too (EBC), but they take more work to get set right, and are much more expensive. If you get a tbe, make sure you do a boost controller RIGHT after, I dynoed today for an after view of what my exhaust did, and I didn't gain A SINGLE hp... why? the stock ECU and boost solenoid were going INSANE, and I was running 15psi with no boost taper at all.... a boost controller, an I should gain ~30whp or more, is what the shop claimed... and then a tune to fix the richness, and they said that'd be ANOTHER 30-50 whp! Who knows if they're right, but it was still ULTRA pig rich (back fired EVERY time the throttle was let out)

 

if u wanna get that horse up to 375 right away, start with a cat back system, Apexi or K&N filter, manual boost controller, and an Apexi Afc II should run u about $1100 to $1300 with a tune

 

Cool

So like Cams and stuff like that should wait until after I gat a Turbo back????

Thanks again!

 

once you get the mods on you will def. want a good tune, a good tune make soooo much of a difference

 

I have an Apex'i Power Intake and a Turbo XS blow off valve and my car is great. I've had my car since December '03 and those mods don't void your warranty. I've been happy with that combo so i'd reccomend that. But if i could i would change my blow off valve to the HKS SQV. Well good luck.

 

TBE (Turbo back exhaust) first. Why; because the good ones are worth 30 to 40 horsepower with no other mods and is the best bang for the buck, then you can get a boost controller and a tune next. If you get the tune first you will have to do it again after you get the TBE

 

Ok so what are "the good ones?"

 

Turbo back exhaust, ECU upgrade and Boost controller. Makes great power and is totally reliable.

 

I'm playing it safe and going with some gauges to monitor whats going on before I add ANY power,but thats just me.

 

I have RMR Exhaust and Down Pipe, good quality and you can find it cheap(er) then you used to. 3N1Motorsports.com has both for like $729 shipped. not to bad

 

The Injen setup looks nice..........I've always been a fan of Injen since I had my Eclipse
