I just have ?
What should I do and what kind of times can I expect?
I can either get a t3t04e turbocharger or 75shot of nos
I am getting new clutch so I should run 13.7-13.9 with my new clutch.
My tc has stock ihi ( I just checked it), have cat back, and k&n little cone filter.
I have couple of more mods that I need to do before oct 19th, we have a meet at the track and I want to hit my new best.
Does a 3" downtube worth the money? with cat?
Will I get any diff if I get bigger k&n and put it behind my bumper where it's cooler?
Thanks a lot.

k&n filter $20

boost controler $7

Maybe more mods later on

What about swaping in a good junkyard t-3 and adding the 75hp shot? I think that would work very well. Also while you are changing out the turbo put in a 3" down pipe.

I'm with Sctur601 on the bigger turbo and the 3" downpipe. The DP makes a difference and will be even more benficial with a bigger turbo. I just finished having a (crush bent) 2.5" single system installed from the cat back and it does make an improvement over the factory duals. Still has the factory DP and Cat. It does not make as much of a difference as the 2.5" dual system that is on the project car with a 3" DP. I'm not against the NOS, I just think it will be more of a benefit with the bigger turbo and the 3" DP
