you need to put a detailed list of your setup and your mods. Your swaybar is hotchkis or progress? what suspension mods you have?

Oh, and I already ordered a GReddy turbo kit w/ pkg 2 Megan Racing boost and AFR gauge, HKS SSQ BOV, no exhaust yet, It should arrive thursday, but I'm keeping it in my living room not to be installed till it's time to.

Also, what else do I need to go with the turbo?
Good luck on your turbo, install and tune it right and show us your bad butt car.

And what else do you need? you know what you need..

It's a massed produced GReddy kit with the EM Ultimate and 440CC RC injectors... It just can't be BADASS unlike your ride. (my American Fender bass guitar is more badass than it)
I'm only aiming on getting 230-250WHP and a smooth TQ band.


One more thing, should I paint the pipes wrinkle red and the IC black?

Progress rear anti-sway set, and a "red" (the stiffest) Megan FSTB

I know I should have bought the Hothkis but, when I checked the front's stiffness increase, it's only about 50% so I just got the progress. I wanted to get lowering springs but I never compressed springs and only have experience installing K-Sport dampers on my AE92 (which got stolen 3 weeks ago at my rich friend's neighborhood, and got money to a turbo kit from it.) So, I was thinking about Tanabe dampers when I get turboed.

If 230-250 is your goal, that kit should be more than enough.. you have gauges right? and you need spark plugs, and your 93 octane fuel lol. black IC is sweet

DAMN! I though you were gone!
Oh well.
You need that 68% stiffer up front to offset the 338% stiffer the rear bar gives you!
But you need springs (or adjustable coilovers) as well.
And just take your kit to a shop to get those parts welded.

I only have boost and AFR gauges-Megan Racing , I'll be mounting it on the A-Pillar, I think I'm sending it back since it doesn't match the amber OE gauge. (Does someone know where I could find gauges in frost silver w/ black fonts and lit up by amber-trying to keep the OE look.)

I'll get the Denso Iridium 1 step colder plugs later on when I do install. (It's easy to get anyway...)

Where can I get the front anti-sway bar? I tried searching everywhere and I could only get it with the rear anti-sway from Hotchkis!

Thanks!

^^^What's the pillar on your front-left side then??? I haven't bought the mount yet, but that's where I'm gonna put it.

Oh and AEN, I'm almost positive I saw your tC near a Salon at UNLV! I saw a FM tC with sports bronze rims with royal lip, dropped, after market exhaust tinted tails, tinted windows, and (I forgot what, but it has a license plate frame of Injen, AEM, DC or Hothkis, I really forgot)... Was that your car?

(You know what? Most of the nice tCs I see here in Vegas are actually FM tCs with almost the same setup... Weird?)

Damn it! A-Pillar then...

I thought the whole roof support makes a "C" form thus calling it a "C"-Pillar... I didn't know it's point A-B-C and D...

There IS a C-pillar. It's behind you. That's why it was funny.
If you had said "I will mount it on the G-pillar" everyone would have been like WTF!

Anyway, MP Motorsports has installed a Greddy kit on a tC so they could help you out if you need it (and it sounds like your gonna need it)

i feel like i waste time clicking into the topics you start forpinks. thanks for wasting my life.

ps i rock a black IC so if you ACTUALLY are getting your turbo kit (which i personally doubt) then do the IC in black. i WOULD NOT wrinkle red the pipes because they can heat soak the charge pipes after the IC making your IC that much less efficient.

It's an honest mistake. If you read my Super Street acticle, even Johnny Wong wrote that my gauges were mounted on my "C-pillar" I chuckled when I read it.

eh...I'm hopeing that was more of a typo or an editing mistake.
this would not have been an honest mistake if forpinks ever did any research, cause if he search for "C-Pilar" pods, he would not have found anything, but he would have found "A-Pilar" pods, and then he would have known.
But he doesn't do any research. He just posts new threads on here for things that have already been answered, or things that can be easily found elsware on the internet.

For example...to answer what this thread is about...if he would have looked at Dezod's kits, he would know that they offer one with a catted downpipe and a recirculated dump tube. He could get a small spring in his wastegate and only boost 3.5psi. Then the management could be tuned to run a little lean. This would be exaclty what he mentioned, give better gas mileage, and with a boost controller, could easily be turned up for power when needed.
