Looking at Upgrades........

I've been looking at some upgrades for my car its stock right now. I don't have much input from others that have bought it I don't know if its not common or what but if anyone who has them can give me likes or dislikes and ease to install and mount up that would be great....

Here's the list__

Greddy boost crtl spec B...........

Turbo SX RFL..........................

3SX Down pipe.......................

Aluminum Drive Shaft..............

Dejon Intake w/ GM/Mistu translator......

Let me know what everyone thinks

I like the list.. I can hook you up like a champ with everything but the 3sx downpipe.. in fact it it where me I would look at a differant downpipe.. go with IPS's.. Cause I don't like 3si

Jason

I agree, 3sx sucks, and if i remember correctly, that downpipe is overpriced anyway. like the rest of the list tho

Alright I'll look around for pricing, do you guys know anything about the Dejon intake as far as bolting up easily or any fabing that might need to be done. Someone who bought it on 3sx said it didn't all match up kidna curious.

Same thing the the BOV any fabing that may need to be done that anyone knows of?

About the bov idk if they have fixed them or not but alot of people didn't like them somthing bout the spring going bad. Or leaking boost...

Hmmm thanks for the heads up, anyone know of or have any sound clips of BOV's taht sound similar or just as good as the Turbos XS RFL's?

also 3sx sells knock offs of all these that supposdly work just as good.

The knock off I used for a little while leaks like a champ.. might just be my luck though..

oh and do you have a boost gauge? or a wideband?

2 things your really need the boost gauge first though ^^

I'd be getting the boost crtl. when i buy everything... boost guage... no.. why?

The Stillen deletes your main cat all in 1 downpipe :naughty:.

Hopefully you don't have emissions.

if you don't have emissions, i highly recommend this downpipe. Gut your rear precat while your at it too.

Also, i would hold off on the GM Maf translator. I had one and I didn't like it mainly because it couldn't compensate for temperature changes. That may have changed since I had mine, but i still like the stocker. Mellon from 3SI ran down the track with a GM and a stock MAS and got a better time with the stocker.

its a good idea to have a mechanical boost gauge in your cockpit.

Also, as far as blow off valves go, the HKS SSQV and the Tials are my favorites. They sound the coolest, and have the best designs for holding boost.

Yea after being told about the Turbo BOV i was looking at HKS and Tail but I've only seen one BOV from Tail made for our cars.. does anyone know some links for other ones...

AS far as the Intakes i want what will give me the ebst results. I'm looking to UPgrade Turbos later so figured I'd go with that what suggestions you guys have for Intakes... I'm not to fond of the stock one

"An option that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND is to make your own intake for about $80
Very reasonably priced and it looks great!

Buy A 4 1/2" intake adapter from lightining motorsports for $30 or from Procarparts for only $20!
www.procarparts.com/
www.lightningmotorsports.com/

Don't get the 3" diameter adpater its too damn small.
You will also need 4 mounting bolts. A little tip: They are the exact same size as the bolts that hold down
the spark plug cover plate. I stole these bolts to mount mine then bought new stainless bolts for the cover plate.

Then go to Intense Performance and buy the biggest 4.5" Flange I.D. POWERSTACK air filter that will fit.
A powerstack 7"($43) fits great and I have seen pictures of a 8" filter ($50) installed!. The 8" filter looked
really tight but it fit. If this does not come with a hose clamp you will need a 5-6" diameter hose clamp,
try to get a stainless one.
"
i believe when i did mine that procarparts didn't have the adaptor anymore :( also with this filter on some c/f hoods you have ram air :D
