just baught a gst what should i do?

hey i just baught a 95 gst.. its all stock except for the upgraded turbo.. pretty sure he said big 16g .. the first things i plan on doing is lettin the engine breathe by changing the exhaust.. getting an intake and gettin an after market bov

im thinking of getting

apex n1 exhaust system
blitz bov
not sure about the intake any suggestions...


is there any thing else that i need to modify.. do i need a new downpipe??

any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance.

(Ps. i have searched just incase anyone wants to recomend this..)

if there is a big 16g in it... there aught' to be a few mods done to it

you dont upgrade the turbo like that without other mods.

well the guy i baught it off of took the car off of his sons hands... so i dont think he knows the turbo... he said its upgraded though.. he got the car dynoed at 230.

its either got 4 pounds of boost on that big 16g or its a little over stock t25

the GST/TSi had 215hp stock

ill look into what kind of turbo it is.. any suggestions on the parts.. good or bad? n e thing ?

first mods are definitly intake and exhaust. with a turbo, any HIGH flowing exhaust will work well(hit the pipe with a hammer till it falls off :D )

watch out on what intake you buy(dont get an Autozone special, your turbo needs to breathe)

after that... BOV, boost controller, turbotimer

that should keep you busy long enough to burn all your money :D

lol thanx man .... anyone else

newbie...dude there are about a million treads about upgrade paths for a turbo 2g. I personally like the one that hahnracecraft.com has....check it out

the first mod for ur car should a good boost gauge... remember a good after market boost gauge... then here is the link for u to get approximately 300hp and it is in order.. just read it and ask questions if u have

before all this set a goal (thats wat the wisemen over here will ask u before they give u sugestions) and also for the bov u are are better of buying a used 1g bov.. it is been proved that is as good as other aftermarket bov :)

hope this helps u :D

you will find that www.dsmtuner.com and www.vfaq.com will be your best friend when it comes to DSM information.

www.vfaq.com has turned into my online bible.. :)

thanks for the info everyone...

yeah you definately need a boost gage if he has already upgraded the turbo.

have some fun!!

its either got 4 pounds of boost on that big 16g or its a little over stock t25

i wouldnt doubt he has a 16g but just running stock boost or a little over... seeing dyno's usually read in WHP so if thats the case his crank hp is probably around 270-280 crank hp compared to the stock 215 crank HP

ahh dyno... didnt pay attn the first time read that.

still think its a too low of hp for a big 16g. usually when people upgrade their turbo, they arlready have a nice mod list goin

whats a good intake ... ive been looking but havnt found anything as of a name of a good one .. can someone assist ?

i heard alot of people getting the ingen intake... Not sure if its good though, I'm actually looking to get an intake for my car too. Also I'm looking to get an exhaust. Is there any exhaust bigger than 3"? If so, whould it be better to get?

I can......home depot. lol

I don't think they make an exhaust bigger than a 3" for our cars... probablay because it would kill torque.

Hell Yeah!!!!!! Home depot Intake!!! I'm actually trying to get them to sponcer the GSX. Think about it, Home Depot decals, good for 15-20 wheel hp :jump3:!!!!! No bigger than 3", But they should because wouldn't that be better for the turbo?

like i mentioned in another post... start kicking your exhaust till the mufflers fall off :D

gauranteed 10hp :D :D :D
