mods

I'm going to be starting to do more mods on my tsi soon and i have a few questions. first off let me say that my goal is to make around 300-350 reliable hp and still have a daily driver. first thing i have planed is an exhaust and i think im going to do a 3" turbo back and a magnaflow muffler. then probably an intake, any suggestions on intakes round or oval pipe size anything helps. then ill probably do a turbo upgrade and supporting mods. what turbo should i go with and how much power will the 14b support?

i guess i should specify a little better what im asking. basically all i want to know is first does the size or shape of the intake piping make any difference and second how much hp can a 14b handle and what is a good turbo to get 350hp from?

size is equal to volume. its important, but not somthing to be concirned about with a 14b, it only flows 30lb/min good for about 330bhp. if you go larger then a 16g turbo you will need to replace your stock diameter intake pipe with one that will fit the compessor inlet size of the turbo you choose. a common tdo5h evo 16g will produce 350hp all day with common supporting mods.

so when i go to buy an intake could i just get like a 3" and get a silicon reducer fitting to attach to the turbo that way i can just get a new fitting when i upgrade the turbo?

3"??? I don't know about yours but mines I think 5" and should be consistant with most other eclipses. I wouldnt be worrying about the shape and such of the intake whenever it comes to performance(maybe Im wrong??????) lol. Heres a website for what it takes to have 350-400hrspwr Here (http://dsmtuners.com/tuning-guide/2gturbo/stage2power.php)

Your intake pipe is 5" in diameter? What turbo is that pipe attached to?

After all the support is said and done, the 14b might do 300whp. Have fun maxing out that turbo and buy a 16g when you need more. Maybe a 20g if you did everything right.
