-Good set of wheels not sure what yet....
-JDM rear
-Good clutch ... but dont know what yet.. shoot me ideas ahha

 

Look good so far.

That bov give you much trouble?

 

Nope none at all car is running just as good as the day i got it. only problem is since it started to get colder when i get on wot it i guess sputters a little bit im guessing to much air? but it was after i installed the Walbro so could it be to much fuel? i donno i need a tune real bad but i cant afford it atm. but yeah the raptor is great and i can always recirc it if i have to. i mean its 400 brand new i found it new for 70 so i had to haha

 

The cold does funny things with a manual boost controller. See any increases there?

Sputtering, I would check plugs. new NGK plugs are under $10 so I would throw em in just to be safe. I find myself replacing those every other oil change.

Although a tune should be first on your list. Just set aside some cash while you search for a reputable shop. I can't really help you out finding a shop. perhaps some peeps will chime in and give better advice. More parts will do more harm than good without a good tune. Prices vary but I got a good tune for $300 and it netted me more hp gains than anything I could buy with $300.

It was nice to know my car ran correctly too.

 

well the mbc isn't installed yet i was saving that for the tune. but it only sputters for a second around 3-4grand when i go wot i donno its weird ill try the plugs but all the shops around me want like 400 its ridiculous

 

400$ is standard, if not low. Will be the best 400$ you will ever spend and really enjoy the power/ safety to your motor!

 

exedy stage 2 it's perfect for dd and for ur mods

 

Of course if money is tight you can looking into tune by email or mailing your ecu off. But that isn't nearly as good as having your car strapped to a dyno and a tuner seeing everything work in real time. that and hp/tq numbers are always fun to find out.

 

Yeah I want the best I can get...

 

Yeah around $400 is what you should expect to pay for a dyno tune. If you were in the NW, I'd high recommend english racing, but on the east coast I don't have the slightest idea.

Find some people located around your area and figure out where they went to. Look the shop up and see how they're reputation is holding up. Then make some phone calls and get a few quotes to see what you are looking at money wise. Dont go with the cheapest quote either. A shop can easily net you some hp gains as well as blow yer stuff up if they get too crazy with the tune.

 

Car looks good bro. The JDM rear will set it off. I think a drop and aggressive wheels will also do the trick. As far as a tune, check out Mellon's email tune. A guy here in my city did it, and he is absolutely happy with it, and getting ready for his second email tune from Mellon. Price is great as well.

 

Since you're in PA you could check into CBRD for a tune, they are quite popular on this site so they must be doing something good

 

Yeah I was told cbrd. I was also considering driving 5 hours to get an STM tune lol I love STM I think they are doing a great job

But anyway how does an email tune work?

 

Message Tscompusa he is a very good tuner and is located in pa. He is also very cheap.
