Best route?

sojirovskensi · 11-30-2011, 10:25 AM

My budget limits to supercharger stage 2 with some gauges,
but I am leaning more to s/c stage 1 with no gauges, and LSD+sway bar+minor brake upgrade. It will produce of course less power but well-balanced power and handling.

I have set my maximum budget from the beginning, which I don't want to spend more than $25k on the mod whatsoever, I've spend close to $13k already.

What would you prefer?

I personally would do State 1 with LSD, sway and brake. Much more logical upgrade. More power without those upgrades doesn't make sense to me.

Whatever you do I think you need proper gauges. Think of it as insurance.

What maybe the proper gauges then?
Boost/AF ratio/oil pressure?

sojirovskensi · 11-30-2011, 10:47 AM

all the suspension/brake work first and then FI?
or FI first followed by suspension/brake?

Yes those would be good to have.

It depends on what you value more.

Exactly, me personally, I would do suspension first (as I have and continue to do so) before chasing power.

Unless you're going to be tracking it I would skip the brakes and get all the little suspension mods done first. Then get your FI and some good gauges.

I will be tracking, but not so many.
I am assuming x3 per year around.

Boost and AF... I did mine with a single PLX gauge and the two senders, you can set the gauge up to see both outputs at the same time.

AF off a proper wideband and boost are necessary. Oil pressure is a good call as well.

I would at least get a proper diff in before beginning FI (or installed about the same time)

Strictly speaking sways aren't needed.

Upgrade brakes when you track.
