Currently i have an entirly stock MSP. I have been looking at these forums and suggested sites, and others. I found a kit i am looking in to buying but i need to know if its worth it, and if i do end up buying it what will i need to keep my engine form blowing.

This is the description of the kit i found:

What elese would i need to keep everything in the car inorder and running smooth without blowing the engine?

Thanks (drive)
 
if you're thinking you're going to hit 400hp on stock internals you are greatly mistaken...

you need to keep reading before buying such a kit.

the last thing you wanna do on that stock motor is upping the boost..even on the stock turbo.
 
how about some kind of FMU, for starters....haha, i can see it now: "hey, lets run 20 psi on the stock motor and fuel system!" that would be awesome! for all of about 45 seconds before you threw a rod, or melted a piston, or something terrible of the sort.
 
i know stock psi is around 5-5.5, but what is a safe psi with hard piping and new front mount?
Or
what would be the best combination of things to add for the most performance for around $5,000 and $6,000?

fully forged block,ported and polished head,cams,ems,fuel system upgrade..i would get your basic mods done first though but thats just my opinion

10-4 i would go with a upgraded motor with ems and a tune on the stock turbo and if that doesnt do it for you then upgrade the turbo.
