I'd say an intake should be your next step, but this would be better answered in the 3rd Gen Tech section

do a I/H/E set up. Best bang for your buck when you dont wanna dish out money for a new turbo.

WTF is an I/H/E set up...Intake, header, exaust?

Okay... tell me a "header" that bolts up to the stock twins. Any turbo vehicle does not have a header(s). They have turbo manifolds. Now, that being said, tell me an aftermarket turbo manifold that bolts up to the stock twins. If there is one, I am unaware of it, and personally don't see a reason for it's existance.

Also, why would he even want to spend money on a new turbo, (by new turbo, I assume you mean go single), when he is looking for a little more power, without spending too much money, and still have a generally reliable car? Going single turbo is almost the exact opposite of those conditions. Besides, good power can be made with a set of ported stock twins. I personally know of a car that ran an 11.83 1/4mi on a set.





Bah... im done ranting... I get all cranky when I'm tired, its time for bed

hehe is it taht time of the month for you White87FC? lol j/k

ya id get an intake for next mod
better to be moved to the 3rd gen section...although they might flame you because it probably already has been covered somewhere...happens all the time in the 2nd gen section

i dont know much about the FD...let alone turbo2s.........yet
but N/A we go for intake and full exhaust, along with aftermarket gauges cuz the stock gauges tend to fail from being 20 years old......

i gots a koyo radiator so i dont have to worry about overheating too hehe, its basically the only blinging thing in my engine bay
