what other mods can i do?
ok so i have been back and forth like 35905398 times on what turbo i should get for my car and i made my decision on the 18g. my question is..without putting in cams or anything involving taking the engine apart...what else can i do to my car. i also dont want to run meth even though i know it helps the power. my mods right now are
vf34 with accessport and vf34 93 octane map sti pinks sti top mount walbro fuel pump cobb turboback invidia uppipe greddy headers cobb intake with cold air box gimmick maf and inlet hose i also have power enterprise 650cc injectors to put in when i get the 18g. i also plan on getting the turbo ported and getting a bcs

water/meth for easy 20-30hp. its the only way to go but seriously, you've done what i did, all the bolt on mods. Cant do much else before you start going into the engine for power. I have a 16g turbo witha 18g wheel on it and im making 290whp. with 270wtq. When I was running meth, i was hitting 330/300.... Its an easy power gain! |

yea i like the meth idea but im too lazy to keep filling it and dumping more cash into the car haha. ive heard mixed results but how far can my car go in terms of wheel horsepower and a stock bottom end and still be reliable?

yeah heres the thing, depending on how many lbs of boost you are running, you can really not have to fill it up that much. if you have it start spraying at 10-12psi through 6.5k, you should be able to conserve quite a bit. if you are looking into more storage than your windshield tank, get a trunk kit, I highly recommend them!
a water/meth will in most cases be really safe. the biggest thing is installing a failsafe or sometype of warning to tell you when your tank is low. if you run out of fluid and start boosting, huuuuuuge nono! you'll start knocking super crazy! my advice-go with a water/meth mix, trunk mount and a built in failsafe, or if you have an aftermarket ECM, your tuner should be able to integrate that into it and have it switch maps if it detects a fault. you are close to making the same power I made on the 16g.. crazy what an 18g wheel can do quick spool. Full spool by 3200rpm for me. you would see 30whp 30wtq im thinking. |

i have an inltet hose and intake and yea maybe ill do the tgv delete but it seems like too much work. the water methanol kit seems to be the way to go....should i go with AEM or Snow performance? if i only have it spraying it like 5000 or 5500 how often would i go through the tank? i never hit that high of an rpm unless im racing someone or do the occasional punch which is not very often because i live in the middle of no where

after the turbo injectors and protune i will basically be drained of cash so maybe another 400 tops then ill be done. i have read a little on external wastegates but dont know much about them. will it really help my power? and how much? i would definetly look into that because i just like messing with the intake exhaust and turbo stuff because thats basically as far as my knowledge goes. i know i have to weld my internal wastegate shut and by a tial. but is the benefit just so i wont leak under boost or will it help give me some horsies
in terms of my power goals. i mean i would love 400whp but that isnt happenings so if i can get close to 350 it would be nice |

Your grammar sucks.
Your punctuation sucks. If you don't know what an EWG is and does, then you need to stop posting and LEARN. Read the Turbo FAQ as it will help. If you want 400, you will need a new turbo. You set a GOAL, NOT a range. You obviously know so little about buying parts that it's laughable. If you want real help, post back with a real goal, full mod list as of right now, your budget, your tuner's name/shop, your car's uses, and 90000% of any information you think might help and we will help. If you continue to post all vague and wishy washy, well, I recommend you HHO your car. |

for 400, thats your best bet man, water/meth.
my advice right now:go read in the water and methanol injection forum. unabomber has a faq up in there that would help you i believe. |

you still have a few bolt ons you can do..tgv deletes, EWG but you need to either get new uppipe or fabricate yours..grimmspeed has a nice EWG uppipe, grimmspeed has brackets for some turbos so that you dont have to weld the internal wastegate, you can port and polish your intake manifold throttle body

i highly doubt youd get a ticket or something for having an external wastegate..doubt cops would know what it is..but the worst that could happen is maybe a noise pollution ticket like having a loud exhaust but ive never heard one in person..on youtube they sound sick like a truck is coming or something
