Your opinions needed on my future setup.

Hey everyone, ive been saving up my money and im going to do a T2 swap into my n/a. Im looking for maybe 250rwhp... maybe a little more. I would like to know your guys opinions on what I have listed and tell me if its good or not and if I will meet my goal for 250rwhp.

- S5 T2 rebuilt with a small street port
- FMIC (dont know what brand yet)
- HKS Exhaust manifold
- Wastegate (dont know what brand yet)
- HKS downpipe... maybe
- RB Y pipe (bigger piping then the n/a one right?)
- Dual Apex'i N1's ( i know u think they are more for looks, but i like them alot)
- Koyo radiator
- Electric fan
- GReddy E-manage
- HKS intake
- Walbroh 255 fuel pump

As of right now, im still havent desided what turbo I want to get, so your input would be greatly appreciated, I would assume a TO4 trim turbo because i think i saw that, thats what the HKS manifold accepts.
And also, your opinions on injectors becuase im a total newb when it comes to them. . .

Thanks for all your help.

hmm make sure the hks down pipe and the racing beat y pipe line up but if u get dual N1 cat back doesnt that come with the y pipe? also add a magnaflow cat if u want it too be street legal because i beleive the NA cat is smaller too begin with then the t2 and a t2 boosted too that level a stock na cat would hold it back i would think

of course, you don't HAVE to go with a name brand FMIC and you don't HAVE to go with an HKS manifold...

do some searching and look up on some different setups... about the injectors, 720's all around would be nice... also, get some silicone hoses, rewire your pump, new fuel lines, etc. do the reliability mods FIRST... always

i know i dont have to go with a name brand fmic, if i found a good one that wasnt greddy or hks or something, i would get it.. as long as it does its job. and with the manifold, i know i dont have to go with hks, but i honestly dont know other companys that make em.

If 250rwhp is your goal, why not use the stock turbo? A full T04 setup is overkill for what you want.

Also, keep your stock fan if you can.
