Whats up everyone! Just doing an introduction as i am new to this site...Just got myself an 89 Daytona es 2.5l turbo. Its white with grey GFX. 90k on the clock its in pretty good shape, I will have pics up very soon, hopefully tomorrow so everyone can see what its all about. I have some newb questions and i have searched but im looking for more of a specific answer to my needs so bare with me if you would!

Basically looking to do some mods right off the bat...everything on the car runs perfect and most stock parts have been replaced recently so with that in mind ill mention what im looking to do, and maybe I could get some insight and meet new people who can help me on my Dodge journey.

I want to add an intercooler...any specific brand? or are they all custom?
Boost higher (either upgrade turbo or install Boost Controller)
Blow off valve
injectors
maybe ecu upgrade if it cant handle certain amounts of boost
and exhaust to match whichever turbo setup...

Basically wanna start pushing the car a lot more, but i dont know what these motors can handle this is my first mopar of the sorts.

Keep in mind if you use TOO much technical terminology I might not understand but im also not an idiot..I think lol!

Standard list:
Compression test on motor
New plugs - Champion RN9YC
New ignition wires
Verify Ignition and Cam timing
Upgrade Turbo to Garret T3
3" Exhaust
Ebay front mount intercooler with custom piping
Poly motor mounts
Synthetic motor oil
Trans service - if Auto. Change oil if manual
Ensure Radiator is in good shape
Manual boost controller
After market ECU like MegaSquirt® EFI by Bowling and Grippo if want to push boost past 14.7 PSI reliably

All depends on your goals

Just some thoughts.. Good luck with it... remember this, and all these guys will tell ya that it is true..BOOST is ADDICTIVE
