should i get a chip first and then start modding form there.. or can i get an exhaust, and intake and dv.. then a chip?

 

you could go ether way, normaly a chip is first since it is the best bang for your buck performance wise.

Get an APR Stage 1+ and a set of TT225 injectors and a DV, that was my first mod and it made a huge diffrence in the car. chip + injectors + DV, exhaust, intake. if you have a stick i would put a short shifter in there too but that would be the order do it in.

 

Definitely get the chip first and see how happy you are with the car. If everything is what you expected then move forward and upgrade the exhaust, dv, andintake. If you do things vice versa you might find yourself a little disappointed for putting all that money into it and getting bored of it quick.

 

When you decide to chip it, get the DV at the same time.

 

ok thanks guys

 

actually your first mod should be a boost guage.... so when you are tunned or untuned you can see if you are having boost issues such as leaks or limp mode.......... then tunning/dv at same time, hfc/tp, upgraded ic,cut out of resinator/exhaust, then cosmetics.....


unless you are doing in stages and it is a while before stages..... and you decide tunning isn't good enough and you wanna go bt

 

are there upgrades for the side mount? or do i have to upgrade to a front mount, i'm a budget so i really don't want to put ton of money into the car right now, i just want a little something extra. i do have a boost gauge allready. also, where do you get those tt225 injecrtors?

 

there are upgraded smic

and you can probably get injectors on here

look on cl or ebay for bosch injectors... rated for the +1

 

1+ chip first with DV and boost gauge.. its kewl to see your boost stock (9 measly lbs) then with apr 1+ spiking over to 23 lbs

then i would do test pipe if u can
FMIC or upgraded SMIC (apikol) but racetec isnt a whole lot more
then full exhaust..


FMIC will help the chip the most... i have logs of my 1+ with exhaust and test pipe but my IATs were hitting 170! ambient was 60 or 70... now with the racetec FMIC they stay within 3-7 degrees of ambient.. that = a lot of HP recovered

 

so the stock intake is good for now? i like that smic, i may save up for that,
