what to upgrade next?
Hey brothers!

I am trying to figure out what to upgrade next. Currently this is what I have:

Headers
secondary cats deleted
S class inlet tube
Eurocharged Heat Exchanger
Johnson Pump


What should I look to get next? looking around the $1500 mark, but give me all ideas because that number can be adjusted.

Thanks!!

Josh

It's perfectly safe to run your car with mods but on stock tune. Once you tuned the car that's when you have to worry about extra mods.

Bro, take it from an old guy. Get even a small pulley like a Kleemann and a good tune. I would personally go into the 175ish range for starters but to each his own.

Pulley will ask her to put the boost in the back door......tune will hand her the KY, give her a few drinks and tell her to relax and enjoy it. You can't have one without the other.

Seriously, tune raises your boost levels and so much more.

82mm would be after pulley and tune IMO.

If you don't wanna go pulley, go tune at least.

Pulley tune and Kleeman headers gained me bout a hundred hp+.

Removing torque management takes the bypass TB out of the equation and therefore raises boost.

I would say go with a tune then get a pulley should be around $1500. What are your guys thoughts on sticking with a stock pulley and going straight to a 82mm TB?
