What mods should I do to the engine, and Tranny before I go FI. I'm thinking I wanna go Twin Turbo or if I can find a good STS I'll go with it. Also need help with what traction mods to go with other then tires.

My Budget
$8000 for Turbo Or SC
$1200 for the Exhaust
$5000 for supporting mods
$2500 for labor

Auto or Manual?

$2500 for labor is probably on the low side for a TT install

As far as I'm concerned there are really only three options:

TT - Fast Intentions (above your $8k budget)
ST - Boosted Performance (Manual only)
SC - Stillen

$5,000 in supporting mods is probably only going to get you the FI supporting mods (i.e. clutch/radiator/gauges/heat management/etc.). If you want suspension and other mods that will be more.

I think most guys ditched STS kit that had it. The 7AT just needs line pressures increased to help hold 5th,6th, and 7th together. I say help because I still wouldn't be heavy footed out of fourth gear when boosted. The 5 and up gears just can't take it.

There are a few upgrades that could help a little but not worth it IMO. I ended up getting a M6 boosted instead of boosting my AT becuase to do it right for me wasn't cost effective. Browse around and search a little there is a lot of information you need to read before going in head first.

Its an Automatic.
If it goes over budget by 1K I'm not going to be too mad. Just can't way over budget because I still have to buy my girlfriend our 2 year anniversary gift next month.

Don't forget to have about 5 grand back-up cash for when something breaks.

Call Tony at Fast Intentions and give him your total budget and see if he can make it work. It's by far the best TT kit for the platform.

I went with Boosted Performance but you have an AT so that one is out.

I don't think he is going to be able to afford the FI do to the price. Awesome kit though from I hear..

This is the first dude that has actually come in with a realstic budget. Not one of the ones that thinks I'll spend $7k on my kit and that's it.

The 7AT is only rated for 300 torque and the only upgraded one I've seen is GTM and it's $6K+ so cross that line at your own risk. I hope someone else makes one if mine ever goes.

We are working on a "solid/sound/reliable" upgrade for the 7AT. How else do you think we are going to go deep in to the 10's!

Thanks, Tony
