Well after I get my 2.5" catback, what else should I modify for speed?

I was thinking

1) SAMCO TIP

What else can I do to add a little more juice without breaking the bank?

QuA :mrpimp:

samco full hose kit and the TIP(turbo inlet pipe) yea those would probably be cool to do.. then just toss in the 300 wet shot for the all out nutso juice blast..sorry its 7am i'm going back to bed :P

[Flanders]

I'm thinking of the FORGE (made my samco ) TIP as well. I figure I'll wait and see if there is an x-mas sale

[Flanders]

hey what do you think of your J valve?

Did it shift your boost curve up by a few psi, and it peaks a little later?

[Kor]

Hmmm here is what I am thinking:

Samco TIP $250
CAI (c1) $300
J/H Valve $100
More small stuff ??

Thats around $650 or more, and you're lucky to pull 5hp from it all. How much more would a FMIC be? I am confident that a better intercooler would provide some decent HP gains...

[QuA]

I think a FMIC is $1000 plus the installs prolly $400.

N75 J valve smoothed things out and holds boost a little longer then before.

$1000 for an intercooler? More like $1000US by the time it's here.

Forge/samco TIP is supposed to help the turbo spool a bit sooner. A few guys here did the ABD TIP and hardly noticed anything aside from slightly improved throttle response (mind you, the Forge pipe is a lot more 'open' then the ABD/Neuspeed TIP).

[Kor]

Hmmm maybe you're right, I just really want an intercooler.

I'd go for the dual-intercooler kit, they're $850 US retail + shipping.

[QuA]

I think on vortex they were reviewing the SMIC and the stock IC was performing better then the forge.

YIKES!

Its soo quiet without Peter here..... damn bastard. lol. jk.

ssshhh

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN,

I think my car must be settling in with the J valve. I never felt my car like this before, the torque was mighty freaking strong. Whens the next dyno day?

I got delivery of a dual intercooler kit from a 2003 TT225. IC's and all associated hardware & rubber pieces for $250.

this will be a winter project to make it all fit

Very nice Sean!

Isnt $250 a damn good price? Used, right?
