Cool, thx for the info. Well this is going to be my first turbo engine and i don't really want to go with cams, mods $1000 turbo's, 1.6 bars of boost, Power FC, etc and all this really great but expensive gear.
What i really wanted is just above normal, maybe a slightly bigger turbo, better
ECU like if possible a plug and play STI one. I definitely don't want to blow the engine.
FMIC basically because i also don't think a top mount will fit under the bonnet.

5. CAI, goes without saying really
6. Boost controller. This is a must for low end pull, with any turbo you choose.
8. Higher rating (opening pressure) waste gate actuator. HKS have a 1 bar one that would suit you I think. |
Could you explain to me what is a
TBE and CAI?
Without going with all the good mods you suggested and staying pretty much stock, is a boost controller and a higher rating waste gate actuator necessary?
Would a cat less 3inch dump pipe be a good idea for me?
