Whats up ya'll?
So the title of the thread is basically what I am wondering. I have pieced together everything I need for a basic turbo setup. I went with a T25 turbo so that I could remain as close in size to the MSP. I bought a OBX turbo manifold off ebay and a Venom fuel pressure regulator that is boost operated (?) ie. sucks more fuel in under boost.. I bought a small FMIC and piping, a buddy that runs a welding shop here locally is making my down pipe and turbo back 2.5in exhaust. I bought a turboXS type-H RFL BOV, Halman Pro MBC, new A/F - Boost - Oil Press. gauges,3 gauge pod....I think thats it, my turbo timer hasnt arrived yet but its a basic Greddy turbo timer, nothing fancy. The turbo is I believe off of a stock Eclipse, it has a internal wastegate that was no good, so we replaced it with a 6lb wastegate, so that it could run stock boost at the same level as the MSP.
My main question is...what all do you all suggest to run more boost? I am waiting on my tax return to buy rods and pistons and a metal headgasket. And I think next month I will buy some 370cc injectors and a EMS, I think I may just go with a Apex'i AFC, Ive been told by many "boost-heads" in my area that this is a hell of a lot cheaper way than buying a $700 -$1000 EMS.
Please keep this thread on topic, and I somewhat of a NooB to the whole turbo thing especially on Proteges and the FS-DE motors.
Thanks everyone!
