Help request
Hey everyone, I've been saving for a while now and think I'm finally in the price range to afford a forced induction kit. After reading and looking around at several different kits, I think the GTM kit is what I'd like to go with.
Being new to forced induction, I'm not too sure what necessary supporting mods I need. My goal with the car is to hit 450 - 500 rwhp. Won't be tracking it much, mostly the drag strip (on occasion). At the moment, the only performance mods I've done are intake/exhaust. I assume the I'll have to install test pipes/down pipe? I was looking at the GTM turn key stage 2 kit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
You're talking about the GTM Twin Turbo Stage 2 right?
You're going to need: - Clutch - Oil cooler(s) - I'd suggest a big race cooler at the last. - Monitoring system or gauges + supporting sensors - Full exhaust |

Oil cooler is a must RCZ is right about that. guages can wait as long as you get a boost controller so you can monitor atleast boost pressure till you can afford guages. Your intakes will be gone so sell them, test pipes would be great to have and i think you already said you bought a exhaust. Frank |
Why would you keep the stock clutch when you're doing a $10k + twin turbo setup?
Same with gauges, they are very important to know what your car is doing. Boost/AFR/EGT are all key to know if your car is running right. If you have to skimp out on getting supporting mods you have no business getting a TT kit. |

Hey guys, thanks for all the quick replies. To be realistic, I have around 14k saved up, so whatever I end up getting will have to fit in there. (with taxes, labor, etc..)
That being said, would it be possible for me to hit the 450 rwhp mark safely? |
Vinny,
See my build in my sig. It is a SC, but it should put up those numbers. SC is a little cheaper, and you don't need as many of the supporting mods you would need for the TT. At least the monitoring portion anyway. Good luck with your FI! :tiphat: |

Is a downpipe a must?
And how much would you say I'm looking at for a clutch that would last, I'm assuming a twin-plate is close to 2k? |
