Hi Everyone
I am very new to Soarers and have had mine for about a mnth.
I have been having some thoughts to add some modds to my stock engine and would like some advice.
I dont want to do alot, just want a bit more power without it costing me a fortune. Would a boost controller and maybe a better intercooler do? Or any other thoughts?
Thanks :-)

I just did dumps,exhaust,fmic and the results were great.
I think a lot of people would agree its a good place to start

I think min. with best results (listed from cheapest to not so cheap).

*BFI DIY!
*Manual boost controller (don't turn it up too much) although these controllers are notorious for spiking (get an electronic if you can afford it). Say 12psi.
*FMIC (won't add much more power, but always a good thing for engine safety).
*Exhaust (oh yeah! Big bang for buck here)
*Dump pipes! ($580 from lew) then install will be a bit (unless you can do it, big job removing turbos).
*Turn up previously bought boost controller to 14psi :-)

If you do your turbos GO a responsive SINGLE! Don't stuff around with twins :-) Twice as expensive (I learned the hard way!) That is unless you find someone selling a twin kit, who has spent all the money for you!

Definitely fix the breathing first; dumps and a better exhaust will help in a big way ;D
A bleed valve can be an inexpensive boost controller but can also be dangerous =P
