Think I bought a messed up s2000

400 is my minimum goal. If I can get 500 with an full race kit, mase kit or afi mani I'd rather do that all in one shot. I'd also like to stay under 13 psi till I get pistons.
Full Race is a great kit but lots of relocating is needed and a downpipe will pretty much need to be made starting from their "downpipe"
Mase has excellent fit and no relocation is needed. I'd definatly recommend his kit and now he is bracing the manifold and dp to remove the vibration some people have. I love my mase kit, fast spool and great power. Super easy to work on as well
AFI- great manifold but it's not needed because most turbos you'll use will spool insanely fast anyways, also the AFI "kit" has terrible fit and finish so if you can't weld/fabricate it's not for you.

For new pistons you'll need to get the block sleeved, new pistons need new rods, new rods need new bearings and that all adds up fast. 13psi with a good tune isn't much on these motors, lots of guys running 16,17+psi if the tune is good

I would buy a ptuning kit or mase kit before piecing together a AFI manifold.

ptuning was really expensive when I looked. And where do you buy mase kits?

Well, ptuning is close to use in VA as is inline pro. Mase is a member on the board, I think you purchase directly through them. Just google it.
Call Mase at his shop and tell them you want to order. Mine took right at 10 weeks but it was worth it. His customer service is incredible and he supplies you with a really good base map so you can drive it to your tuner easily
