Next Mods?
 

1992 Tsi AWD 5 spd

I have a bunch of bolt ons, what should my next performance mods be(anything that will improve 1/4 or HP/Tq)?

Current Mods:

Short throw shifter
Non-horsecock/dildo shift knob (One of the smallest, but best mods ever!)
Blitz turbo timer

My ideas...
Magnus Intake manifold
HKS 272's
Springs/retainers
Ported head
SAFC2
And some race gas ;)

I haven't really gotten a chance to max out my current setup, but I'm looking ahead. I'd really like an SAFC2 right away because I could tune a bit better with it.

And honestly I almost have half a mind to sell this, just to start over and do things differently!

Bigger turbo, different fuel managment, cams, intake manifold.

Re: Next Mods?
 

The only thing I don't agree with is the bigger turbo change. I just got it :) But the point of this thread is for suggestions ;) So thanks! I'd like to max out my 20G, and hey, its better than a 14b so I can't complain.

Re: Next Mods?
 

If you spend a bit more, get dsmlink instead of an AFC.

Re: Next Mods?
 

That is a good point. But then I'd need an EPROM ECU. If I'm gonna do that, I almost might as well get AEM. But thats a lot of $$$ haha. Hmm, I should look into 1g DSMLink more...

Re: Next Mods?
 

Perhaps a Shepherd or TRE tranny rebuild?

Re: Next Mods?
 

That is in the back of my head. I feel I don't need that YET, and if you knew how I shift and treat my tranny, the stock rebuilt will last awhile. I baby my tranny more than anything, thats why I don't let anyone drive and I shift slowly at low RPMs, at ghey as that is. I learned my lesson from my 1st DSM, I went through 2 trannys. Again though, thanks for the suggestion. I think I'd like a Shep Race tranny.

Also, I think over the winter I'll do springs/struts and either cams/retainers or an intake manifold.

So thanks guys!

Re: Next Mods?
 

Eprom ECU's are anywhere from 150 to 225 depending on the condition. Most guys sell decent stuff. If you get it socketed you can also chip it.

Re: Next Mods?
 

2.5" O2 housing & 3" downpipe? I wish I knew my fluids better but I don't believe that is a good idea, I believe a transition is necessary versus a flat out 0.5" jump.

Re: Next Mods?
 

2.5" to 3" is normal. The stock stuff to a 3" downpipe is usually the same or worse. You don't need a 3" O2 housing, unless your exhaust wheel exducer is bigger than 2.5".

Re: Next Mods?
 

I'm not gonna worry about my exhaust set up, I'm sure its fine.

Any suspension stuff you all recommend? I was think Eibach sportlines with KYB AGXs. And I'll MAKE some adj. camber plates for the rear upper control arms (copy of those TSS camber kits).
