once the turbo is switched out for something that actually has some boost in it, cams need to be swapped in just to make it smoother IMO. the 256 prof seems most popular, but one of the mods on NICO recently did the GT25R upgrade and is running 264 stage 1 cams from HKS

alot of guys with sr20's here are changing the turbo's down to the CA18 turbo for quicker spooling, but also most change upto the GT28, but change the exhaust manifold too

whole exhaust needs overhauled. it's on a 2.5 inch piping all the way. i need to widen it to a 3 inch system one day. i've been hesitant to right now because somebody welded the downpipe to the cat and i don't want to shell out for a downpipe and a new cat right now

i wasn't too happy when i found out about it (i was fixing an exhaust rattle where one of the cat bolts had worked its way out). turns out the flange was ****ed up from shipping, so jay just welded the cat to the pipe instead of buying a new downpipe

i'm not worried about it. i was planning on dropping the stock cat in favor of a high flow one eventually

anything on the car that's f-ed up or a bit messy i didn't mind cause it was stuff i was gonna change anyways. seats, downpipe, interior panels, etc

cool. ask him if he switched over the whole rear assembly for the five lugs, or was he able to find a five lug hub that fit
