So I have been working overtime like a champ lately. Pretty much all my days off. It is sick. (Meaning I have some money to burn) Anyway, I have a chance to buy an APS TMIC for $600. It is pretty much brand new. Right now I am running a stock turbo with an AccessPort (so no customization) so it really would not do anything untill I upgrade turbos and engine management (Correct?)

So I put this to you guys, what do you think? Should I buy it and pretty up my engine bay in preperation for a larger turbo, or wait and do everything at once and miss a good price on this Top mount.

Discuss.

Thanks,
Dan

 

im no expert, but on the physics part. even though you dont have a bigger turbo, ecu upgrade, it would still make it faster. because if the new tmic is more effective (bigger and what not), it will yield better results because the air is gonna be colder (denser). of course it would be better tuned and all. but it should still make a little difference. somone correct me if my assumption is wrong.

edit:
i say go buy it.

 

exactly as stated above!

 

do it!!

 

dan... buy it. you'll need it later.

 

exactly if you buy it now and even if you dont put it on right away you still will have ready for the turbo upgrade and you got it for a decent price

 

Buy it now, instead of buying it later at a much higher price. Intercoolers do not deteriorate if not used (for all intents and purposes) so just keep it on the side until you get a bigger turbo.

 

agree with everyone here....

 

if you got the cash now, and the price is right, i'd get it!!!

 

Thanks guys, you just reinforced my thoughts. I'll post pics one I get it put in.

 

I would get it in a heartbeat...you know the quality of APS from your exhaust...pick this up, then the APS dual vent bov....very cool...

 

^^^ Yep yep Now all I need is an APS turbo.

 

Dan get it and let me hump it for a little while! :banana:

 

I always knew you liked a good top mounting, sure beats those pesky frontmounts, they always endup hurting the legs.
