sup dawg. welcome!!

you could PnP your turbo to lower your boost threshold. Always a classy mod. Wrap up your DP too.

Welcome to the forum

I promise you're not putting down 285whp with that setup. However, to get more power out of that setup you could buy bigger injectors and run e85. That would squeeze probably another 30whp and 50tq out of your setup with a tune

i also have a front mount on the car, i forgot to put that in there, im not sure what im running the cobb ap dyno run said 285, not sure on how accurate they are but, what do you mean PnP and wrap the DP? but yeah i was thinking about getting some bigger injectors!

PnP = Port and Polish. Open up the inner diameter and increase flow

I didn't think any of the cobb maps supported fmic's? is it custom tuned? And why even run a fmic on a stock turbo? it's not usually needed till you go a lot bigger

tien lowering springs

If I were modding this car, I would look for something else in the springs department, like Tanabe. Sounds like you got a slick legacy though, post pics.

mikesiena268 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 19, 2011, 10:10:33 PM »

you can attach them to a message is you scroll down below the box you type in and hit Additional Options....but it's generally easier to use something like flikr, photobucket, or pics.shorty.org is run by the guy who owns this site and is free image hosting for use on this site only

advantages to NOT attaching them directly to the post in the Additional Options: your pic will show up whatever size you make it, not a tiny thumbnail needing to be clicked and you can imbed the image anywhere you want in the message instead of having all pics down at the bottom

there really should be a write up about this posted as a sticky in this Newbs & FAQ's section (hint *cough*Dave?*cough* hint)

There's a set of Cobb springs for $40 for sale in the private FS section. You should snatch them up!

stopping. Better pads and higher quality fluid maybe? the GT's brakes are pretty stout, but have weakass factory compound.

mikesiena268 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:24:07 PM »

just did full slotted dba rotors and then stoptech pads all around! its alittle better now! not so bad!

just looked through the thread. Awesome job. seo management

Nice Spam, Asshole.

mikesiena268 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 30, 2011, 10:47:02 AM »

wait what? spam? was that to me?

skyphix · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:35:13 PM »

no, it was to the spammer that posted in the thread... that's why it was quoted in his post above what he said...

"Quote from: chierouro on July 28, 2011, 09:51:58 AM"

See where it says "quote from..." and then a username? In forums, that's usually done to indicate a response to a specific person or statement.

Also, not being a smartass, I know plenty of people are new to the whole forum thing.

Kavik · « **Reply #24 on:** July 30, 2011, 02:06:45 PM »

yeah, it always gets confusing when the mods do their jobs, delete a spam post, but someone comments on it before it's deleted LOL
