Title: upgrade opinion
Post by: Shimy87 on October 22 2016, 10:28:54 AM

Trying to descide on next upgrade this winter. Which will give best performance gain, 3 inch DP, roller rockers, or larger intercooler... ...or something else, sig below show current equipment. The 3 things I listed are all currently stock.

Thanks for any wisdom!!

what are you trying to accomplish? Faster eighth/quarter time?

For my money it would be a bigger turbo but the larger intercooler might be good too. A lot of people like a nifty new down pipe.

Might be well spent on some sticky tires for the track. Or just some track visits to do some wot tuning.

Used downpipe and wide band to maximize what you have.  :powersix:
