Question new mods intsalled plus question.

Just put in a new AFE stage 2 air intake, and the MBRP 4" exhaust. I am currently waiting on the gauges, and DP tuner from ITP. So far the package sounds great. Any more ideas without breaking my bank. Should I be worried about fuel delivery with the extra air increase? Also someone on here has a picture with powder coated inetcooler tubes. They look sweet and I am interested in the same for mine.

Boost anialator....you can get that from DP. Gauges too to keep an eye on Tranny temps, EGT's and boost pressure.

Be sure to start adding your info in your Signature so we all know what you have.

ITP intank fuel mod kit. You can make your own, but for $100, it wasn't worth my time.
Start saving for a new Transmission!

He says he is working on gauges and DP Tuner.

You can make your own OBA out of an air compressor regulator and hose barbs, but the ITP one is a lot more professional looking. It only costs about $50 and you would have a good $30 in the other.

I made my own intank kit for about $30 w/o the fancy filter. I am using an inline plastic filter to keep the big chunks out. A lot of your "other" forums are doing this type of setup.

The next big thing IMO is a valve body. The guys here will say go with BTS. Jody and Dennis at ITP would likely say John Wood. To each his own. Just pick one. (they are the same price) You can also do a shift kit for less than half the money, but you have to pull the tranny.

Kris aka Strokin has great mods and order they should be done writeup. I will go look for it.

Ron, where is Kris' big write up located? That should be a mandatory read before you can post There is a lot to be learned there.

Don't forget to mention the ATS housing next to the WW for the spendy folks.

thanks for the input guys. Any more would be greatly appreciated. I have the gauges on order with ITP now. I am just waiting for the paint to dry on the pillar then it will be shipped out to me. How do I add all my vehicles input at the bottom of the posts. I am new to the site since I purchased my 02 X.

Go to top of thread and click on USER CP. On the top left of the new window that comes up click on EDIT SIGNATURE.

You probably don't have enough posts to do this yet. I think you need 25. BUT if you become a SUPPORTER you will not be delayed.
