FD Upgrades
 
Hey guys, i just got my fd about 2 months ago and im loving everything about it, atm everything is stock but im looking for that extra bit of GO ! that i know it can produce,

whats the first upgrade i should look at doing ?

Thanks for any suggestions

Exhaust, intake, a turbo timer, and a boost controller

Just guessing

I'd go one better:

Intake, exhaust, upgraded AST, upgraded radiator, R1 Dual oil coolers (or better yet an aftermarket dual oil cooler setup) and then go for power.

Delete AST, Add 3" downpipe and 3" catback but retain the stock catalytic converter. Buy a nice Stock Mount Intercooler and just enjoy the car. It wont break records but it will be quick and still reliable. Go further than the mods I mentioned and be prepared to deal with what comes along with it.

First upgrade: make sure you own a 2nd car (already have or go buy one) =] not saying anything bad, but some times the mods we do take longer than we expect and we dont want to be stranded...

I'd get a Power FC as well.

A great site that i still find very very useful is www.turborx7.com

It has a recommended upgrades section on there as well. =]

I only recommend for those people who have someone locally that can tune the car or have all the emissions deleted. It is hard to beat the smoothness of a stock sequential car with all emissions still intact with the stock ecu, probably honestly safer at 10lbs also than the PFC.
