My friend is trading in his car and i was thinking of buying some parts off him.

I have
Ecutek tune
SR 40
MRT TMIC
Stock header
MRT up pipe
MRT cold air intake

I was looking at buying
APS DR725 FMIC
HKS header
maybe his APS cold air intake

I know with mods you should always get it retuned but can i put the header on without tuning changes or the frount mount intercooler. Or put both on now and get it tuned later. I depend on my car a drive about 80 miles a day 4 days a week. Is there a big problem with front mounts and rocks or bugs etc. from highway driving.

Thanks for the input

if you have a fuel pressure reg. you could just bump your pressure a few pounds to compensate for the cooler charge from the front mount.

All i have for controlling things right now is the Ecutek, I put in a turbo timer and boost gauge. I was looking at adding a UTEC so i can tune with a lap top, or maybe the delta dash setup.
I love my car, but really don't want to modify it much more because i don't want to break my RA gearset and have to replace the trans again. So I will probably swap these parts to an sti.

 

who put your gears in and about how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking. also where did you get them?

 

I posted it for the other guy asking, but at Mastro $3500 for all the parts i had to get plus labor.

 

Damn!!!!!! that would take me a long ass time to pay off. how do you know when your gears are about to break?

 

lets just put it this way its like a broke twig those stock boxes are....if you get the gear box from gruppe-s then get someone else to take your transmission out bring it to mastro have them install the gears fro i think it comes to right over 2100 altogether a lil cheaper than 3500 but still getting raped. you can almost get a full ppg for 3500 just not installed....
