I have an 89 turbo that I am wanting to pull a few more horses out of. Im not building a racer or anything just want my baby to live up to its legendary name. I plan on keeping the stock turbo, I dont really want to up the boost much for durrability reasons.
1.Im thinking new plug wires (NGK? or MSK?) any oppinions?
2.Apexi intake
3.How can I bump up my CT-26s output?
4.New piping and possibly a more efficient intercooler. At most I plan on running 10 psi, (probably go with 8) would it be at all effective to get new piping or an intercooler? if so any suggestions on brands? I know the stock ones arent exactly efficient but would the added area to fill be more than the stock ct-26 could push?
5. Iv also been told that adding a 3in downpipe and elbow, along with loosing the cats or going to a substrate will add a little bit even with the stock piping and muffler??? This didnt make much sense to me but I dont have much desire to loose my factory exhaust yet, as the precious owner replaced it 10,000 miles ago. I also like the quietness of the car. I wouldnt think it would make a difference what pipe you have up front when your still trying to dump through 2 and some odd inch on the tail end? Or do the stock downpipes have a harsh bend in the or something?
Basically Im just looking for a bit more power but I still need it reliable as it is a driver. Appreciate your help guys
