Must have mods:
1. Scantool- Scanmaster $250, Turbolink (need laptop) $150, Directscan (need laptop) $250
2. Walbro 340 fuel pump - $100
3. Fuel pump hotwire - Do it yourself for $20, kit $50
4. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator - $100
The above mods will not improve performance, but without them you will blow a motor and/or not be able to improve performance safely.
5. K&N filter
6. new exhaust - Hooker $250
7. gut cat or use test pipe that came with hooker exhaust
8. Adjustable wastgate actuator - do it yourself for about $5 - easy to do
You also need to add some gauges.
9. boost gauge $50
10. Fuel Pressure - Get one that comes with a braided hose, that way you can tape it to your windshield while testing, so that you can see if fuel pressure is coming up with boost.
In my opinion these are must have mods before you start raising the boost.
My favorite performance mod is the SMC alky injection kit. It allows you to run 21psi boost and a high timing chip without running race gas. Best bang for your buck mod after all else is done.
First thing to do is go to
www.gnttype.org and do the spring cleaning.
