Default Now what?

Hello All…


Ok here is my dilemma I have a 03 GT with 18k miles, Stage One, Mopar duel Cat Back, K&N Drop in with white air silencer gone. I am now looking to do a few more mods but I’m unsure about which I should do first and whatnot I have a list of what I would like to get done and figured you peoples would be the best to ask for some help.

I’m sure its time I got a Boost Gauge and a Air/Fuel gauge so I think the next step is the gauges and the pod.

From that I was thinking of:

Wastegate

Upper to Lower Pipe with HKS blowoff
http://www.prototypepower.com/

3” Down Pipe no clue where from yet . . . but the easiest one to match up with the Duel’s I have

then some place down the road maybe a Boost Controller ? ?? ? ? and then a whole bunch of suspension mods

let me say this now yes I don’t know that much about all of this and that’s the reason why I’m asking you all . . . also for the peoples who just say SEARCH for it on the forums I’m looking for the most up to date info and most of the searches are a bit outdated

thanks a bunch in advance and hope to hear from you soon


o and if any one has better product ideas please feel free to let me know

The A/F has to be a wideband and they are not cheap. With the AGP wga if you are planning to boost over 15 lbs you will need a dual stage boost controller. If not you will get bad part throttle boost (PTB). For my '03 GT the 1st stage of my bc was set at 15. No PTB in any gear. Can drive around all of the time and car will be quick. 2nd stage of the bc was set at 18 lbs of boost. If you got on it in first and second gear you got bad PTB. If you really want to get on it the trick was to start out on 1st stage of bc and when you hit third gear switch to 2nd stage of bc. The smile will never leave your face [8)]

Start with the hard pipes on the intake and the plastic intake manifold. They aren't too much $$ and easy mods to do yourself. Then the Maxxfabb o2 housing and dp. It mates right up to the Mopar/Borla cat back. Then you've got your flow opened up and ready for higher boost levels! Right now, you're really cutting off a lot of power that is bottled up in restrictive piping on both ends!
