nycboy7 · 02-07-2008, 06:14 PM

I'm just still trying to do research b/c I am getting ready to boost my si with the AJP kit, so i was just wondering like what are some other good things to have along with the turbo kit and a 3" exhaust?? for example cold air intake short ram anything else that i should be prepared to buy?

I dont know what comes with the kit. But you need an exhaust a boost gauge, a exhaust gas temp. gaugue, should get a wide band. if you wanan boost more on stock block, get a thicker head gasket and some head studs. if you are brave get meth/water injection, its like running race gas and is safe cause you cool the temps inside the motor.

Get a Wideband gauge, Boost Gauge, and **** the intakes, get yourself an Intercooler.

And prepare to tune your car alot.

And get get rid of your Stock catalyst.

Hope you have money, and make good money, cause not many 18yr olds do.

just a few pointers.

Just the kit, fuel return kit, exhaust and reflash. You don't need to replace this or upgrade that if you are just daily driving. The K series motors are very stout in factory form.

you shouldn't be buying a turbo if you know such little about it that you think you may need a cai or sri.

indeed. research is key. i researched boost for about 6 months before i even bought my car and a few months afterwards. then i purchased a kit based on my learnings from that research on what would be reliable and can obtain the goals im shooting for.

^ yeah same for me I've researched since i purchased my car a half a year ago and I still feel like i can learn more. Patience is important you can never wait to long. I plan on sitting back at least another year before I go FI just to see what can come out of the up and coming company's.
