2003 MSP #14
So I'm tired of my car not preforming to my liking, so I'm going to build it up. Here's my list of parts in order of ordering/installation.

What I have motor related:
SRI
Front motor mount
Vac lines
more things im forgetting im sure

What needs to be installed/in the mail/being made now:
FMIC/bov
Exhaust
MBC
New WGA

Whats next on order:
SSAFC
new turbo, not sure which... input from you guys?
forged rods and pistons

Let me know if I missed anything, thoughts, ideas... I would like to keep the stock exhaust mani and down pipe... Trying to dip into the 13's here.

i would recomend getting a deep sump oil pan. Also an oil pressure regulator and upgraded oil pump from DOCb racing. and maybe steed speed exhaust manifold. Corksport makes really nice exhaust too
 
I would first do the rest of the motor mounts, and I wouldn't skip the exhaust mani and downpipe. I would go with a 28RS (disco potato), and I deleted the VTCS flaps recently and it's noticeable. Not a huge power gain but it's definitely noticeable.
 
Would removing the butterfly valves make a big difference?

when 505 did his intake mani comparison he got a 10whp gain from just zip tieing the butterfly valves that are closest to the head. Cant remember what those ones are called

motor mounts are a plus but in all honesty if your side motor mounts are not torn you really dont need to change them. The front and rear the are the ones you really need to change. Corksport inserts will be sufficient for the side mounts.

Getting better ones wouldn't hurt but not needed like the front and rear ones.
 
Try out the new GTX line of turbos from Garrett. =)

Let me know if you need any parts.
