Im getting ready to buy a 1g turbo dsm in a few days (my beater car just died, 260k on it). I'm trying to get my mod list together and I'm having a lot of fun researching all the different mods and what ones i want to do and making home made parts and stuff.
I think i know what i want as far as mods go.
I'm thinking:
home made intake (i actually already made it. Only $20. hope it fits when i buy the car),
Home made MBC
Boost gauge
Ill port the o2 housing myself
IC piping
A 2.5" down pipe
and either a 190 or 255 lph fuel pump with an AFPR
and i was thinking i could stay with the stock injectors but i don't know.
And I plan on keeping the 14b and not ever going any bigger because this will be a daily driver and I'm only going for cheap mods on this car so far.
Ive read that you don't need a AFPR with the 190 lph on a setup similar to this one, but some people say you do in which case you might as well get a 255lph just in case. My question on that is if a 190 lph would work for me or if i should go with a 255lph and a FPR. I'm not sure
My down pipe question is this, I've read about o2 sensor housing dump tubes but after some thinking, i thought that it would be easier to just get a Buschur 2.5" dp or something and drill a 1"~ hole in it so that the exhaust will go out the stock exhaust and the hole in the dp eliminating the need for a full turbo back system. This would be until i buy the rest of the exhaust system at which time i would weld the hole up.
I know this would work and everything but i was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on it.
Your thoughts on these questions or the mods I'm planning on would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Eric
BTW, just in case i thought id add that i did use the search thing before i posted this.
