Ive read that thread in the archives...just need a few tips from the seasoned vets of the forum.

The T2 i plan on buying, has a blown apex seal, so I'll be getting a new motor. So compression is not an issue.

So what I was thinking, was to get these mods first:

Ported wastegate
Clean and blueprint injectors
S5 Pulsation Dampner
Exhaust
FCD
Appropriate guages (EGT, Boost, AF...do i need water and fuel press, or is that overkill?)
OMP removal...go w/ premix

and i was thinking maybe DP with a high flow...unless thats not needed? I mean i know its needed eventually, but since I dont plan on turning up the boost yet, should i put it off? or get it now? the car already comes with a fuel and boost controller so I think i can put those off until later (although the units seem kinda outdated.)

all in all, my main goal right now is to perform the right reliability mods...and to prevent any accidents (hence the OMP, S5 PD, and FCD.

all your help is greatly appreciated...

Upgrade fuel pump?

Get the racing beat full turbo back system. it bumps your boost up to 10-11psi. Fuel cut defender to stop the fuel cut and a fuel pump. On a sock T2 that will bump you up 59hp by Racingbeats claims.

 

Yeah...forgot to include that...'twas in my plans.

Reguarding the RB Turbo Back, I would like to retain the cat, as I do live in california...besides, has anyone even dyno'd that system with a good turbo and a good motor? Not to doubt racing beat by any means...they deserve the utmost respect, but until I see a dyno sheet from a good motor/turbo, I cant really believe the hype. But then again, the butt-dyno never lies, and sometimes that's all you need.

 

I hear ya on that. I though about in when looking through there cataloge. They us a 87 in there testing. I think raising the boost 4psi and free flowing the exhaust would do this. Always gotta be wary of claimed gains though.
