Like I said before- in a perfect world your car is going to recieve the SR and all this crap and custom ECU and when you turn the key for the first time it will instantly idle great and make 350hp to the wheels and cook you dinner. But in the real world- you're introducing buttloads of variables which is going to lead to a big headache.


You are going to have a huge headache on your hands. A stock SR is awsome and runs great. Then I started modding....what a fvcking pain in the a$$. Every mod took me at least a couple of days to work out the bugs (except the idiot boy mods). But what helped me is that I knew what was causing the issue. You will have a buttload of mods to sort through to find what is giving you the problem. I think every swap should start with FMIC, bigger rad, gauges, BOV, exhaust, DP and that's it. These are all basic mods that won't affect drivability and give you some more power to play with. Then after all bugs are sorted start with the turbo, fuel, fuel management etc.

When something goes wrong how will you know what's causing it? Just something to think about


BTW-add a headgasket on your list of stuff to buy along with solid lifters. From what I have read over 350hp and the rocker arms like to shatter.

I am not flaming just giving you friendly advice from someone who has been there and going there. I have had my SR for over 2 years now with no major problems because I took my time and did everything with a good pace and better knowledge of what I was getting into (I drove a completely stock SR for quite some time...and loved it!



Does it get more stock then that?
