good starting place for HP?

[Jmanning843]

Thanks, Jason. I already put on a BTG A/B Muffler, BTG Intake (AirForceOne), Billet Bar and Xenon lamps. Oh, and a simple chrome grill kit that just makes 'em smile as I'm going by! I live in Southern California so I spend a lot of time on the 405 Freeway and I got the Auto stick for that reason. I'll look into the MBC and see what I find. Again, thanks.

Manual Boost Controller.. it delays the opening of the waste gate, letting the turbo build higher boost. Basicly you just splice them into the "vacuum line" (they're actually pressurized) running to the waste gate actuator.

With a MBC, you don't really need stage 1 since you have an 2004. You already have the injectors needed to get you up to 17-18 psi, which is a HUGE increase in HP. If you have a manual though, the S1 has some other shifting related logic as well.

So:
MBC: $5 - $75
intake: 100 - 200
exhaust: 300 - 500

if I were to buy a MBC, it would probably be the turboxs. They are all pretty much the same thing though..

Jason, Kirby on anyone else,
See my post on Non S2 performance, Would it be worth it to just replace injectors, or go ahead and get S1, S2 just doesn't appear to be worth the $$$$
