Well guys, after a year of looking around, I finally found the deal I wanted and pounced on it....Got a 2003 GSR (Black) with 560 miles on it, all stock- I'm still overseas but am going home on leave next month and am back home for good in about 5 months! Already bought an Intake, BOV, and Turbo Timer which I will install next month when I get back...The only thing that sucks about the whole deal is that my loan requires full coverage, so I'm letting my dad drive it to work a couple of times a week so that it's not just sitting and rotting- Sorta works out because I'm going to get him to get it past the 1k mile mark before I get back next month ....August is going to be the longest month ever- can't wait to drive it!

 

btw- I ordered the K&N Typhoon Intake and the Greddy Type S blow off valve- I've noticed some people having trouble with their cars stalling with the Typhoon after putting on an aftermarket BOV- should I have any problems with this combo?

 

nice and enjoy.

 

congrats on the new ride...i cant wait to get mine

 

Congrats

 

wow... 2003 with only 560 miles....

 

congratulations

 

Yeah, even though I'm not home for good for another 6 months- I couldn't pass it up.!

 

congrats! welcome aboard.

 

Yes, you will have problems. That is the absolute worst intake to buy. Why did you get those 2 as your first mods? They are the 2 most useless things to get as the first mods. The turbo timer was a good idea, but you'll need to get rid of that intake. The BOV is fine, but you don't need it on stock boost, and you will need to make sure you do the single spring mod.

The REAL mods are an exhaust and MBC w/gauge. Until you get these, the BOV is just an expensive noisemaker, while the intake will always be a power-reducer. I'm not saying ALL intakes suck, just that one. It's best just to get an inexpensive panel filter, but if you must have an aftermarket open-air intake, then make sure you also get a tune at the same time, so that the car runs properly...

 

+1 to what warrtalon said

save your money for MBC and Exhaust

 

He already bought the stuff unfortunately, but hopefully he can sell it to someone else.

 

Guys- first of all, thanks for the advice..

I wasn't aware that the typhoon sucked so bad. I got a good deal on it and just figured what the hell, but I'll listen to you guys, since you know alot more than I do about them and try to sell it...

 

I think I'm going to just save my money and go with the Buschur Stage 1 upgrade in January when I get back
