Hi everyone. I'm stepping on a sc very soon and I want to know what is required to get a little bit more power than what I'll get with the 'stock' comptech sc setup. I own a 2003
Here are my conditions

- No hassle or tuning with EMS (too expensive, and local tuners sucks)
- No internal modifications of the engine
- Almost bolt on modifications to gain power

so here are my toughts:

- Header, and downpipe = soon
- Pulley?
- Injectors?

I know I'm newbie and I want to put maybe 1000$ more maximum (without the cost of sc and header and downpipe). I want to know if its realistic to reach my power gain when we consider my conditions and how much of HP I will see?

 

What is your target hp number??

 

Header, Exhaust, Aftercooler

10psi Pulley, You should be around 360

 

Well, I want to add 50 horsepower? The most possible with the less hehe

 

i dont recommend upgrading the power unless you are able to afford a new fuel system and fuel management.

i'm pulling 5.5 psi at redline, and with the stock header/cat/exhaust i am already running lean with fuel pressure bumped up a lot. 301whp/188tq.

you'll need a fpr, new injectors, new pulley & belt, and new fuel management & tuning.

 

i agree...

i scored a cylinder wall on stock boost... but i had an '01...

i would invest in better engine management and larger injectors... but thats just me!

 

And you are most definitely gonna have to spend over 1k, according to most of the tuners I have asked the same question to, they all have recommended an EMS with increased boost for safety and added power, and boy does it all add up really fast!

 

he could get an Emange, injectors,pulley and a little tune.should still be a little over 1k.

 

I was curious as to Emanage myself, gonna do some homework into it.

 

I might go this route in about a month.
