The Beginner's Turbo Parts Checklist
#21
get an intercooler then later on if you need more horses, add a intercooler NOS spray bar. also add blood, sweat, and beer to your list.
don't forget about clutch/flywheel and Speed-source poly motor mounts to get all that power to the wheels. i would suggest clutch/flywheel/mounts done at the same time by a tuner shop that hasn't worked on a tc before. Because once they do one, they won't do it again! It's a pain in the ****. the guy that did mine said he'd rather s**k d**k than change a clutch in a tc again. LOL.
and dont cheap out on gauges, they will save your a** if you get good ones.

Hey, have you decided to go witht he Ingalls Stiffy instead of the speed source mounts?
I was going to go with the mounts, but I keep reading posts where guys did the fronts and not the backs cause they didnt' want to mess with it, even though the instructions I got from Speed Source makes it seem pretty simple. It even says it should take about an hour and a half, but someone said speed source did theirs and it took 4 hours!
I mean, do you think the Ingalls stiffy would work as well as the speed source poly mounts?

Im using an Ingalls stiffy on a stage 0 car and it works great for me. If you dont mind the work that goes along with the mounts, I'm sure they are a nice addition. I also know of a few guys who have had good luck with the zpi engine limiter.

question: won't adding an intercooler to the stage 0 kit drop the boost pressure? if that happened, i guess i'd need a higher boost wastegate spring to keep it at the initial 6psi. am i correct or no?

If it's a pretty good intercooler (cooling wise), you should see a little bit of pressure loss. You will just have to see how much pressure loss you have with the 6 psi spring and go from there. ZPI sells a 7.252 psi wastegate spring that will probably do the trick. http://www.zeropointindustries.net/s...roducts_id=256
