need advice on what upgrades i should do first?
my car is pretty much stock .. except for dp and apex intakes
also i think my turbos are blown
i can only afford 2 of 3 items for the time being .. so which 2 should i go for
1. exhaust (racing beat dual)
2. radiator (fluidyne)
3. replacement turbos

i was thinking turbos were a must .. but i dunno if i should go with a new radiator or new exhaust? which combo would be best for the life of my engine?

 

Well if your turbos are blown those should be replaced, otherwise getting those other things is senseless. If you're car isn't running 100% before a mod why mod it. If they end up being ok then start looking at your other two options as welll as Boost gauge, Aluminum AST, and some of the other reliability mods.

Those turbos are pretty tough you may just have a vac hose off. I would put in a boost guage, All silicone vac lines (big job), Aluminum AST, Aluminum Radiator. When you are 100% begin adding the go fast goodies. If you add go fast stuff without fixing the car you are wasting your money.

 

DP (eliminate pre-cat), vac lines, boost gauge, water temp gauge, AST. Then work from there.

 

PowerFC?

 

no sense in modding a broken car, fix the turbos, then the radiator.

 

what makes you think that your turbos are blown? tons of oil in the intake? excessive shaft play?

if you don't have a boost gauge, get one.

I agree.......get all your reliability mods done first. Then worry about going fast and adding hp
