If you are staying with the stock turbos get rid of the AVC-R, S-AFC and adjustable fuel regulator and get a Power FC and some 1300cc secondary injectors.



Do all the exhaust, downpipe, high flow cat and cat-back.



Get an intake system. I really liked the M2 cold air intake, but it won't work with a front mount intercooler unless the radiator stays in the stock position. Even then the front mount will block some air from getting to the intake.



Get a bigger radiator. The one M2 sells is nice, or a Koyo or Fluidyne or PWR.



Replace all your vacuum hoses and have someone check the condition of your fuel system under the hood.



If you are going to run that much boost a lot, you will probably need a stronger clutch soon.



HAVE THE CAR PROPERLY TUNED BY AN EXPERT!!!!!

I would serioulsy suggest that you getthe car tunned by a pro as Tyson already suggested.

Right now you are guessing and doing that while trying to run 1 bar is gonna be dangerous for your engine.

If the tunning is right and the car is getting the fuel you should have no problem running up to 30 psi on stock internals.

Don't forget about reliability. The motor can take a beating if done right... But the motor won't last if you just want to crank the boost. What's wrong? Is 10psi NOT enough? Not like it's slow or something...

Agreed....How much power are we looking at? And what kind of turbo are you looking at also?

yea it depends on the hp. but get some 1300 or 1600cc secondarys get a FPR get a good high flowing fuel pump. then get a Stand alone like a apexi Power FC and get it tuned. ignition upgrade, radiator, you allready have an intercooler. i know im missing alot of stuff i cant think right now.



my friend with a 89 Jspec 13bT is trapping 132mph with a stock motor (internals and port) and a REW is built better then a 13bT
