new guy in town

[c_brks]

well i am new to this page and i wanted to ask your guys advice on what would be some good mods to get for my sr. just got the car not long ago and it already has a stage one kit in it. i would like to get around 400whp out of her by this summer. any advice on how to acomplish this would be much appreciated. also one question. i see on the mopar performance kits it always says with toys or without toys. what the heck are toys????

[turbomini]

welcome to the forum!! lol

[c_brks]

thanks. im sort of new to the srt but i have been screwing around with the odl school turbo dodge stuff for awhile. two years ago me and my buddies put a 2.5 t1 motor trans and everythign else in my 95 neon. so i do know a lil about turbo cars its just that the srt's are so electronically advanced compared to the oldschool im not sure where to start on my 05 sr

[turbomini]

you have pics????? i've been thinking about doing that!!

[c_brks]

i do have some pics but not with me. yeah it wasnt really that hard just the wiring was a pain cause it is running the old smec harness so you have to wire in the appropriate neon plugs to the smec harness.best time she has gotten was 14 flat running only ten psi and a shit ton of tire smoke

sweet that should be a blast! so on your SRT what al is done to it?

[c_brks]

well i think that the only thing that is done to it is that it has a stage one computer. havent looked just yet but it has the stage one badge. havent had the time to pull the aribox out and look at the thing. im not sure where i should start to get the most gain on that thing. was thinking about getting a new 3" down pipe for it then a stage 2 wga. but like i said not sure where i should start.

AHH i'd start with the bigger exhoust and go from there.. and if its a stage one it should push more boost...but i'd upgrade the intercooler piping next!

[c_brks]

ok so for the exhaust would you say just get the bigger down pipe or all new exhaust from the turbo back?

well i would becuse if the down pipe flows good and the rest doesnt theres no point... lol so i'd get all 3 or what ever you choose!

[c_brks]

ok that sounds ggo. so with the stage 2 wga is there much messing around that has to be done with it? ive read that you have to set it and mess around with it to get it to push more boost. i would like to run 17-18psi on it the way it sits and just pay good attention to my egt
