Mods you can keep going Forced Induction
 

Hey so I'm still learning this whole engine thing lol, come a long way though! Any who, this question may have been asked but idk how to word it to search for it so if you find a thread just link it please. But I'm basically wondering what bolt on mods you can keep once you go turbo, I plan on eventually going with boosted performances turn key kit. But for now I'ma go fbo, I know cai is turned into something else but what about headers/intake manifold and all that jazz. Also would porting the upper and lower plenum be worth it since I would be going the boost route or what should I port to prepare for that? Also I have a A/T (I know I know shame on me right lol) and know that Level10 basically runs the tranny upgrade for the car right now, but do you guys know any shops personally that could do just as good if not better for a more reasonable price? Thanks for any help :happydance:

Honestly not much will be transferable. The intake manifold will stay, the exhaust manifolds/headers etc will not. The cat back exhaust systems may still bolt up (depends how the turbo kit lines up but I would assume it ends at same place as cats), however if going turbo you may likely want to run 3in exhaust so once again not a good mix for most of the NA 2.5in systems.

Probably better to just decide from the start if your gonna stay NA full bolt on or just save and do the boost all at once.

Pretty much this. Start researching.

You can still keep using a dual 2.5" exhaust while boosted, and it won't be too much of a power loss compared to a dual 3".

Also, you can do flex fuel and a full fuel system before going boosted, along with the CJM oil pan.

For more cooling, you can upgrade your radiator and add an oil cooler beforehand.

I could have sworn there was no way to run the BP kit with the auto?

And I'm pretty sure that Level 10 is the only game in town right now for beefing up the 7at.

If I am be mistaken Fast Intentions does not use Level 10 but a custom set up. I'm sure it is not cheaper but their auto tt are stout and reliable.

Shiiit really? I just dmed BP right now so I guess ill find out haha, how much would you guys estimate a manual swap to be and what upgrades should I do to it while its out besides the clutch?

No actually you're correct but it's not much cheaper lmao

Okay cool thanks! Wish I found out Autos couldn't hold much power beforehand ): should have done better research

A manual swap would in all likelihood cost more than you'd lose by selling your car and buying a 6MT. If you want boost on an auto, budget an extra $5k and your options are Stillen, Fast Intentions or AAM.

You could also try contacting vendor Juan@Fontana on here. I believe he has posted in the past that the AT/MT Swap might not be as bad as we think... but I haven't seen anyone do it yet.
