Performance question

Hi guys,
I want my car to pull harder when accelerating, so I'm guessing I need more low end power. How would I go about getting more? Would I need a better turbo, so there is less spooling up time?

Thanks

P.S. My current mods are:

AMS lower and upper intercooler piping
walboro fuel pump
a tune
hks intake
gsc s1 cams.

bigger turbo is one way to increase your torque or low end power as it brings more air into your engine. Check out the performance page on www.drive-more-fix-less.com/modifications.html

A bigger turbo is gonna reduce low end torque due to slower spool.

TBE = Turbo back exhaust. Downpipe = one section of turbo back exhaust .

o2 aint gonna do much either at this power level, but the TBE exhaust or even just a downpipe and test pipe will net some nice gains. A switch to E85 is also a huge area to get some power.

power

well,
you have a small amount of mods. You need to upgrade a lot of stuff. From the previous guys on here they are right. You need to go with a bigger turbo. You have
find out questions... like what is your budget like.? How much power you want to make.?? You need to have a good flow of air through the car from intake to exhaust.
plan on buying this...
full turbo back exhaust
880cc-1200cc injectors
fp red turbo
aem ems
aem truboost gauge
fully built head
fully built bottom end
and a load of other goodies.. best of luck to you.

that bottom end power will come from a bulit 2.3 stroker motor and allow your turbo yto spool up 300-500rpm faster

I am putting on a TBE w/ test pipe soon and I already have a prosport boost gauge. My budget is not enough for another turbo right now. My budget is pretty low at 1k. Also my state (NJ) doesn't have e85, at least from what I have found.
