Well my deployment is coming to an end which means its time to get back on the road! I purchased a 03 spicy MSP #1360 and I can't wait to start working on it, here's some the stuff I have either on order or waiting for me.

Corksport FMIC w/ with CAI
Corksport Powerseries 3" Exhaust w/ Downpipe
Unichip
H&R Springs (1.3 inch drop)
Wideband O2 / Boost Gauge
Turbo Timer
AWR Front & Rear Motor Mounts
Forge BOV

Got a buddy of mine helping me with the install, nothing like some beer and engine oil to welcome you back to the states! Anyone got any tips for more addons after I get this stuff installed, or any problems that im gonna run into along the way?
 
welcome to the forums first of all, second of all, from servicemember to servicemember, stay safe over there. You see to have a good mod list to start with. But me, I would get something that is tunable by the customer or a shop since the Unichip is only tunable by an authorized dealer. The Forge BOV is ok, I used to have one but it never worked just right. It would always open late causing surge or not open at all causing "hella" surge..lol Look into getting side inserts as well if you don't want to dish out the bucks for the solid mounts. Other than that, happy modding. It gets addicting. Nice to have another texas spicy
 
yeah, im fortunate enough to have corksport headquarters like 2 hrs away from my base and they are unichip certified so that wont be a big deal, and i read up on alot of different bov's went with the forge instead of the HKS Sequintial III cause the adapter for it is too hard to find... should i rethink?
 
Glad to see you will be back soon. I will be leaving monday and I plan on a complete rebuild (built) and full suspension when I get back.

I personally stay away from the HKS for the simple reason that everyone uses it and I like to be different. HKS has been proven time and again. Think about your goals with the car also. FORGE recirc if you are keeping the stock MAF setup. Maybe go to something else if you plan on relocating the MAF. Be careful and throw up some pix when you get back so that I can stay motivated while Im deployed myself.
 
haha thanks i will throw some pictures up. and yeah for now im not planning on messing with the MAF for a while, or untill i decide to throw down some more cash for forged internals. (ill break before too long) lol. and good luck and stay safe on your deployment as well. its cool to see so many service members msp'in it up !
