Subieaction Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Lol you guys are not going to let him live it down. There is a performance section but doesn't go heavily into part by part. They give a general overview on different things. Your best bet is to start searching. I just basically asked the same question and a down and up pipe is the route said to give me the gains I am looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Start with an Uppipe, Downpipe, and a stage 2 custom tune. If you are wanting to spend more $$, add an aftermarket TMIC/FMIC, fuel pump, injectors, BNR turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx045 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 save your money. if your car has around 100k in it you will be replacing your engine and turbo soon ok dude. the appropriate response would be replace your turbo before it goes south. this way you save the shortblock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 ^^^yea all the motors on here blow up at 100k just cause lol. most of the engine failures here have been due to the turbo's going not an internal engine issue. listen to BMX and don't get nervous cause someone said ur motor will blow cause of 100k. ALOT of people here are stage 2 with high mileage cars and the only change was a change in turbo. I went stage 2 at 100k and i have gone 20k on stock turbo and im now replacing it for a newer one.

It will turn 149,000miles tomorrow. OP the first thing you need to do is learn how to check the oil and top it off as needed, don't let it run low on oil. As others have said, replace the up/dn pipe, go catless in the up. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Tehnation Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Uppipe(not catted) $150, Downpipe $350, stage 2 tune $150 if u have laptop and cable, if you need more power get fuel pump , 750cc-1000cc injectors, fmic or bigger tmic. the prices for the later stuff varies a lot on brand and vendors. If you get fmic, check out the racer x v3 or latest version, pretty much best one ive seen so far. Before you get all that power I would check/upgrade your suspension first, sway bars and endlinks (kartboys) do wonders u will need a mounting bracket as well for bigger sway bars, slotted rotors, new brake pads, steel brake lines. As for a new turbo go with one of the bolt ons from bnr on this forum somewhere, they have a lot of customers here and are reputable. I'm not sure on what turbo you get, but I think you can use the vf52, i'm not sure though. Anybody know if the newer vf52 bolts on with 05 lgt.

Tehnation Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Also make sure your waterpump and timing belt were changed. If not do that first. You will probably need a new clutch at some point , theres a post somewhere on site about clutch stuff, but i think you have to change the flywheel as well for a stage 2 clutch.

X2 for better brakes, the wagon gains speed much faster then it did before. You don't realize it until you see how fast your gaining on that car that was in the distance a second ago. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
