You know I haven't bought a single part from modernperformance, I heard they are great but I just haven't seen the need to order from them.

You will notice most of the parts you need you can find in the For Sale forum on SRTforums for cheaper. This opened my eyes greatly thanks to Havok... because I was in your shoes buying everything new and um yeah I've gotten farther with the car buying parts that were hardly used for cheaper. Same performance as just buying them new. Don't get me wrong there are parts you will want to buy new. I've got plenty of parts I bought new, there was just some I didn't see the point paying the price of the new one over a used one that will do the samething.

 

Also stay away from kits unless they are beneficial. If you have an HKS bov already I don't see why you would get an TurboXS RFL bov. I understand bov's vary and the sound as well, etc. but its not needed at this time especially when you already have an aftermarket bov. So the kit you mentioned is a waste of money in my opinion.[/quote]

the hks bov has been sold way back. i went back to stock, but i know the guy who has it very well and he can sell it back to me,i just didnt put that on my garage thingy. the kit seems beneficial to me due to the fact that i would get the wga, bov/adapter kit, and the boost controller all in one kit for a price cheaper than i can get a bov/adapter and wga. i know the suspension needs upgrading,have done research on that and already have the money set aside to order parts. as far as this being a wga that can adjust the boost level i am not sure of,will search that ( i wouldnt think so since it comes with a controller in the kit).

 

i can see the benefits of doing so. i have been loooking around on ebay motors and found the prices to be much more pleasing. i can find a good wga for around 70 bucks and a bov kit for about 100. i will check out the classifieds on srtforums

 

If thats your goal, and you are confident you wont deviate from that goal.......then Stage 2 kit. It will be the cheapest...

WHY? NO tuning or dyno time involved.
And more reliable than any tune you can come up with.

Think about it hard before you decide. Many people end up spending hours upon hours tuning and dynoing...when they go the 'tune it your self route'

 

$560 is definately not beneficial.

I got my PTP WGA for $70.00 (seen them go from $60-$80)
There's a guy on SRTforums selling the Coldside Pipe with Greddy Type S Bov for $160... and I've seen some go like that for $200-230 with the same bov and other different kinds.

So lets say it was $230 for the pipe/bov and $70 for the WGA that would put you at $300... that means $206 more for a boost controller which you save because you don't need it. The AGP or PTP/Kinetic/SBR WGA are adjustable and so are a few others that pop up here and there.

 

Why do you guys waste $ on BOv's?
For sound? Dont tell me for performance.

The stocker works fine.....and is PCM controlled....

 

I went Stage 1, Stage 2 is nice but I've heard its not the greatest on the dyno as far as the numbers it puts out... but the power band on the street is nice. This is what I've heard and read. Stage 3 is oh so great but I can't afford it... but if I could I would get it. Regardless you want to tune an SRT-4 to get more power out of it since they do run rich. I'm pegging 10.0 on my Wideband.

I just have the blue plate, I don't want any aftermarket bov at this time. I don't gain anything from it.

 

thanks for the info on the wga's and bov's. i live in the pensacola area so there really isnt much of a "scene" around here to get any good tips or to really dyno and test tune my car. i am planning on attending uti in orlando for the fall and i know that there is a big scene there.

 

No problem.

There's quite a few SRT-4 owners in Orlando. Good luck!

 

the stock bov doesnt releas the hot air into the atmosphere but recirculates it back into the turbo correct? this causing a warmer running temp for the turbo slightly harming performance. i know i could by the mopar bov converter where it converts it into a pressure releasing bov. i do, and i sadly say this, want the bov for the sound and just for the fact that it is necessary in order to reach the psi i would like to. but i think as far as i am looking now is possibly the mopar bov,i have a 2005 so it comes with stage 1 injectors, and a decent wga.
