stock reman w/To4r?

i'm waiting on a to4r kit that i purchased here on the forum. its a gotham kit with twin tial wastegates. i want to know what to expect from this kit with stock ports. relavent mods are as follows.

vmic
mp(considering adding resonator)
st may exhaust
power fc w/ comander

i want to know if 850/1300's will be enough(i have them already)
i have a aquamist 2d kit waiting to go in, not sure if i want to install it yet because i dont want to add 150hp and not be ready for it as of yet. my car now is on the base map with stock twins and same mods, but stock injectors.

so if i dont use meth, will i need a twinpower? and if i do, do i still need it? i evenutally want to add it, but not now. so i guess my question is, how much power with and without tp, and how much with and without meth?

give me your ideas/suggestions please. thanks

i would HIGHLY recommend you get the HKS twin power if you plan to go single and increase your hp with that kind of kit

I'd say use a twin power for anything over 325whp...

You'll probably start to get ignition breakup over 15psi, though I've done 18psi just fine without a TP when I used to use one.

As far as meth is concerned - drugs are bad... but on a serious note I would suggest tuning the best you can on low octane (91/93) for 14-18psi. Then if you decide to use meth, move it up to 22-24psi.

If you're looking for a decent 400hp setup, add the twin power and run 15psi.

I wouldn't push a reman too far... you don't know how well it was built, so its luck of the draw.

I saw you'd be good around 375hp no problem without having to worry about things.. but thats just an estimate.

it seems like the strength of your OEM ignition system comes down to luck. I know one FD that was getting breakup with like 300 to the wheels on FD stock coils without twin power. My FC (which has stronger factory coils) was getting blowout around 12psi on a T04S before I went with the twin power. Yet I hear of other people doing high 300s or better on unaided stock coils.

...this seams to be the story, it could go either way. maybe just to be safe, i'll get the TP.

another question i have is how "laggy" will this setup be on the reman?

it is the gotham racing t67 kit with twin wastegates. i dont know the exact specs because the website is down apparently so if there is anymore info that could be provided that would be awesome. thanks so much
