This sounds much better now just don't get to boost happy man the car should pull really nice at 10PSI with the mods you are listing right here it will be more than enough to be a quick car. Anything more go for some forged goodies (thumb)

My future mods will be dealing with the Mental Addiction Built Motor Block and the Mental Addiction Thumper Turbo kit. Maybe a good cam upgrade also.

You guys have convinced me to not go with the GT28RS. I think it is just a waste of money if you have bigger plans, unless you don't plan on making BIG HP.

I will have the FMIC, BOV, Diverter Valve, the Intake Manifold, the Custom 3" turbo back exhaust, and some motor mounts installed in about two weeks. I should get some HP gain from those mods.

ya u will notice a huge difference with all those mods installed at once..any the gt28rs is a nice turbo..spools faster and puts out more powerthan the stocker

 

[akeem1003]

If I run the MPI Tuner, how many pounds of boost can I run on the stock turbo?

 

[akeem1003]

Also, where do I purchase the MPI Tuner?

As many as your stock rods can take. I've heard the GT25 is reasonably efficient up to about 16 psi. My guess is you'll fold the stock rods at less than that amount. Once you're forged, don't sweat it. You could even upgrade to the GT28RS at that point. Of course, then your tranny starts snacking on 3rd through 5th gears. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?

MP Nick makes them. I wouldn't boost the car past ten even with those mods. The rods on some cars hold and on some they fold. Even at just ten psi you car will be completely different.

 

[sweetlou69]

yup i would go 10 max..some people with tons of mods have run 11-12 psi but the majority of the rods will shoot outta ur block past 10psi..get the MPI and run 10psi with all those mods and that should keep u busy for awhile

 

[akeem1003]

But the guy from Mental Addiction boosts his car at 12psi with the MPI Tuner and he didn't touch the internals yet. How is he able to do that?

 

[akeem1003]

What if I get the AEM EMS, would I be able to raise the boost past 10 psi?

 

[sweetlou69]

ya he runs 12psi.. he also has like every mod avilable which gives him better airflow..i mean u can try to run 12psi and u mite be able to get away with it.. but i think most people on the stock motor around 12psi have blown there motors..id like to run 12psi also but id rather play it safer at 10psi than risk blowin my motor for another 15hp or so

You will need a FMIC for that much. Trust me 10 from a potatoe is a lot of power.
