Nate Futuristic Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 strut bars really dont do much maybe stiffen alittle (woops though you staid strut tower bars lol) get some nice coil overs if its NA go with the usual CAI and header back exhaust if its boosted front mount/SSQ BOV/3in turbo back) if its supercharged get some pulleys if your mechanically inclined find some crazy lobed cams or nos it down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with OE BPV's, some are good for 10lbs, others are good for 25. lol why would you upgrade a front mount with a sotck BOV and SSQ is good up to 20+ lbs of boost i had my HKS on my talon and was pushing around 17psi daily 20 @ the track now the only good STOCK BOV's are off the 1gen talons like mine... crush em and poof good for what 35lbs? lol and no it wont gain horsepower but it will release back pressure and prevent turbine surge (where the air has nowhere to go when the throttle is let off quickly so it spins the turbo backwards ) if you replaced your sidemount or even frontmount with a bigger aftermarket intercooler and not the bov and increased the boost id bet a new turbo would be your next upgrade after there is enough shaft play to almost see the fins come out of the inlet lol) and the best way to fix a leaking SSQ is.....better O-rings adjusting the sping properly (not @ 10 when your pushing upwards of 15psi) they made the SSQ to be leak proof and better for low end boost.... down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94jettameowpsst Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I could have swore the ssq bov was a pull type like a tial so the more boost u run the tighter it seals? I personally don't know bc I've ran a few sard bovs on my fd or my vr4 but every Dsm I've had I've used a tial or 2 and they didn't leak at 30-40 psi 150.1 @ 38hz142.3 @ 20hz (windows down)Only 2 batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanekeimigdesigns Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Whatever engine mods you do the right tuner is gonna make it shine. Suspension wise poly bushing upgrade, thicker sway bars, and a more aggresive alignment *more caster/ little more camber* but you wear tires quicker.
