Question Intake and Exhuast Question

I have stock turbos with the Apexi GT spec exhuast. Thinking about getting the apexi intake from rx7store.net. Do I have to do anything with the stock turbos or intercooler since I will have low air restriction with the exhuast and intake?

Nope

If anything get a boost controller for faster spool and better/even boost line.

Nope, however, (assuming you have a boost gauge) check for boost spikes and get a boost controller if you do. Keep max boost down to 10 PSI.

Like SpeedKing said - get a boost gauge and see what levels of boost you are running. With a stock ECU you don't want to run much more that 11psi to be safe. Chances are that you will see boost spikes up to 13-15psi which is bad and can blow the engine. At that point you want to get a Profec B boost controller to keep boost at safe levels.

Also, read through the newbie stickers as there is lots of good info in there including info about this.
