Re: help with new mod
I'd get a boost gauge, then save up for dsmlink and a wideband, and make some money back by selling the safc.

In that case, then I'd personally save for DSMLink. |

Re: help with new mod
You may not think you need to upgrade to dsmlink like Halon is saying. But trust him, he is VERY right. I started off how you are and now that I ran out of tuning options I wish I just would have got dsmlink in the first place.

Re: help with new mod
Sell the turbo timer and put it all towards an EVO3 16g.

Re: help with new mod
I would go to Modern Automotive Performance and grab that AEM wideband on sale right now for just over $200 that they have.

Re: help with new mod
Someone had an E316g on here for like $450. I would start looking at a FMIC soon too.

Re: help with new mod
Hack your 1G MAS for free and get a used 16G and a new (or used) o2 housing (ported 2G, ported EvoIII, or tubular).
Hmm, or $400 could probably get you a used set of aftermarket shocks and lowering springs.

Re: help with new mod
I'd go dsmlink, I really wish I would have done that first. Or a set of ARP headstuds as soon as you run more boost.

Dsmlink, or a wideband, or used turbo?
