Hey guys im gonna turbo my s very soon with the greddy bolt on kit and the aem ems .
I wanna boost but be the most reliable i can . I dont wanna boost any more than 10 psi or even less .
Also I wanted to put on a head gasket and maybe headstuds . What u guys think n what else can I get to
Keep me on the safe side.?

 

Keep it stock. Trust me

 

for the greddy kit keep it stock (head gasket and head studs) these motors can handle about 14-15 psi before they need headstuds. stay away from thicker headgaskets. They have a very high failure rate and usually only last about 10k miles at best. look through the forced induction sub-forum there are several threads about the greddy kit.
if you plan on running the aem ems I would recommend getting the inline pro stage 1- its a little more but well worth it.

 

i already purchased the greddy kit . n i wanna be as reliable as can be thats all

 

keep the motor as is, u will be fine with a greddy kit and a stock motor, like these guys said stay away from the thicker hgs, i feel like i tell someone this once a week now

 

N whats the most I should boost ? Also what other things do I need to boost
Other than the kit , a aem ems , boost and wideband gauge and a tune ? Sorry if
Im asking nooby questions . This is my first time boosting any car .

 

you need to keep a stock hg, no where in the greddy manual does it state to install a HG.

 

keep the OEM HG and bolts. i have an inline pro stage 1 kit and got all these supporting upgrades: walbro 255 fuel pump, ID 1000cc injectors, clutch master fx300 clutch, new spark plugs, AEM EMS 1052 V1 and a cusco catch can.

 

If you want to to keep the OEM clutch a while longer keep the boost down around the 8-9psi mark so torque stays well under 200 ft/lbs. That will also keep the 550cc injectors that come with the GReddy kit low in duty cycle. Your driving style will really determine if anything else needs beefing up, but the GReddy should not tax the motor and its stock components too much. This will last 6 months, then you'll be like the rest of us drilling out your cat, tossing the OEM exhaust, upsizing injectors, replacing the clutch, and boosting that little GReddy to 11psi looking for 300 whp and 220 torque. Start putting cash into your savings account now.

 

Alright got it . Thanks so much guys . N im not the type racing around town always I drive normal shift at 3k .
But I hit it maybe about once a week .
