sup everybody, I need some opinions on my next mods. So far I have a blitz catback, invidia dp, gruppe-s upipe, tein springs, and hks BOV. I have $2100 in cash and here is my following options:

I can go with a VF30, Injectors, fuel pump, and a utec,

Or I can go with the bigger VF34, injectors, fuel pump, and a utec,

Or should I run stock turbo with front mount intercooler and utec,

Or a PE1818, stock intercooler, stock ecu, fuel pump, and PE injectors.

I need everyones opinions good or bad. Just need some advice. I want a setup that will put me in the high 12's with a turbo that spools no later than 3,500rpm. I want it to be reliable with no hassles to deal with. Just give me any advice even if its not mentioned above. And oh yah, a place where I can get all the parts I need for a good price.

 

with that type of money i'd get a good brake kit and then even one of the before mentioned parts you listed.

you're gonna need to stop with all he power you want, right?
so why not kill two birds with one stone and finish off the break system, then start the engine mods with the same 2100 bucks

just my.02 eric

 

yea thats a good idea. Tell us what kind of driving you do. If your just into going fast and not wanting to go on track or ever on mountains then brakes aren;t neccesary.

 

we all are a big fan of speed, I know I am. I not the autox or streetracing around residential neighborhood type driver. I want to take it to the track and put down some good times from my WRX. Upgrading the brake system is a really good idea, but with that don't I need bigger rims to clear big brake kits such as endless and brembo? Or is they're anything I can put on to help with braking that can fit onto stock wheels?

 

Hmm you may be on to something here. i'm not sure of which brake kits will fit under stockers. if there aren't any then keep a lookout for people to sell them in the posts. I know someone just posted some 17" P1's. Anyway, on that note go for the engine package, then while you're at it keep your eyes open for a good wheel deal and then focus on brakes last.

VF30, Injectors, fuel pump, and a EcuTEK

 

stick with UTEC so you won't have an regrets. Alot of people have had ecutek and got rid of them. Talk to BADWRX, he did the same.

 

I know people that have gotten the Utec and got rid of that for the EcuTEK. Talk to 1WRX2NV him and Andy switched. hehe

 

so if you have your stock wheels does that mean you still have the re92's? If so replace those right away from what I've told.

 

the re92's aren't the problem in regards to a bigger brake kit. it's the wheels.

Upgrade engine, at the same time look for wheels then finally get better brakes

 

PE 1820, Injectors, FMIC, FP and LINK baby!!!!

hey joe, i was think of getting the pe1820 or 1818 i just like to know how is the top end pull on the pe1820 thanks for any infor

 

I'm not joe but, It pulls hard top end

 

You damn right you aint me!!! What's up O?!?

Anyway, like my man said, it pulls extremely hard up top. I remember that one time (while me and Bill - skywalker was doing some road tuning on the beast), I over boosted and I think it peaked at 19 - 21 psi (don't remember the exact) and it even surprised me (as a driver - you normally don't feel as much in the driver seat). Bill just looked over at me with a grin and said that it pulled harder than the vf22...

...so to answer your question, it pulls HARD up top!

thank you guys
