It really all depends on the tune and the set up. On a stock turbo 30 pounds and no meth you are still good. But the tune has to be a good one. None of that mail in flash garbage.

I don't think Paul has paid for in intake manifold since he bought is Magnus Street way back in the day.

You do need them just not at that level. Also if you have meth in your car i would suggest putting them in at alot lower boost levels then non meth cars

 

27 psi on pump is so last year...

 

36 is the new 27 anyway...

 

^True...call you later today...sorry for not calling you back bebe

 

Nice I want to check out the SE LIP. I'm thinking about replacing mine with CF. Also think I want to go with a CF hood with partial paint, but that will be awhile.

 

I have been thinking of upping the boost on mine but I am scared that imma lift the head off a bit and then need a head gasket... plus at 24 psi I think I am close to maxing out the 8/10.5 turbo anyway...

Also have any of you guys done the head studs with out removing the head or even recommend it... it just doesn't seem kosher to me for some reason...

 

From personal experience I can say that doing ARP headstuds 1x1 is a big risk to long term happiness. Your head WILL leak. I drove my car with a leaky head for 3 years including track days. I never had problems, but it was lame to have your engine always covered in oil, and know that your head leaks. If I could do it over I wouldn't have done the headstuds. You can run 25psi or less on the stock head bolts. For stock turbo guys that's fine.

What my gasket looked like, after 3 years of leaks from 1x1 ARP's.

 

My buddy just did it for a guy on here the other day.

 

I don't know that **** doesnt sound kosher, I think I will just keep it under 25 psi for now... thanks for the replies though guys...

 

Got on it a lot today, holding strong at 26 psi, no knock.

Hollur.

 

Jake your set up is weak, you need more of this....

 

truth

 

Woah!

 

^wow...that suck good fo' sho.
