I have around 1100$ to spend on my FD and was wondering people's opinions to help me pick.

Car already has DP, High-Flo Cat, Boost Gauge, Turbo Timer. What should I buy?

Parts I am thinking of:

Pettit ECU
Apexi N1 Dual Exhaust
Boost Controller
Intake System
SMIC or Greddy Piping for Stock IC
HKS SSQV BOV

What combo would everyone try to pick up? I was leaning towards ECU since I have a DP,Highflo Cat, so I can't really smash on my gas due to having boost creep... so this holds my full potential of my 7. I always seem to catch myself letting off the gas to stop creeping which sucks so bad.

 

Just an opinion and to have someone reply to you,
Of the parts you said:

Pettit ECU (~400 in the parts for sale) to unlock the potential in your upgrades

Boost Controller(~300 new on ebay for ProfecB) for safety

Leaves 400 for either Exhaust and/or Intake.

Heck, Coulthard Fan has a used N1 Dual with silencers he's asking for offers at 300 or less right now.
100 bucks for a CheapBastardIntake + K&N filter

~$1100, quality used parts, install yourself. bada bing, bada boom. (mind you, without a ported wastegate, with intake + DP + HFC + N1, you might still suffer from creep?)

also worth considering: temp gauges, egt, reliability stuff(radiator, AST), suspension...

obviously, just free advice, and you get what you pay for.

 

get a pfc, that will control your boost and allow you to take full advantage of current and future mods.... and save your engine

 

Power FC is prolly the best mod you can get for your car.

 

well i'm guessing all your basic problems are fixed.

If not (like turbos, vac. leaks and such) fix them before getting anything else.

I also think Power FC is the best mod. But you also need commander and/or datalogit (datalogit is a must). That's going to cost you around 1200ish for datalogit and Power FC.

you might want to pick up a Downpipe with the power fc.

i got my power FC and Commander for $999.98 through greenline motorsports in japan. Only problem is that you have to pay by paypal or something like it. they dont take credit card. Another option is to find one used, they run around the forum all the time and you could prolly get a good deal if you wait for one.

you cant get an exhaust, because then you will most likely blow your engine from over boosting. the next thing you should do before anything else, is upgrade your entire fuel system along with the power fc that you buy, if you plan for more mods in the future. otherwise you can get away with just the power fc. keep in mind that upgrading your fuel system can be expensive, so i would get the power fc and save for the fuel system. save around 1000 dollars for fuel.
