Yes I have done my research, but I am still unclear on some things and would love some clarification from you guys. I am considering going with a JWT TT on my 05 a/t and am curious what else I need. I am running bone stock and of course reliability is my #1 Priority. With that being said I am only looking for HP of 320 or so and despite what you may say about later I currently have no desire to have more ( although il take as much as I can get safely without pouring a ton of money in).Thank your for your help!

If it makes any difference I am thinking of driving it over to VRT in cali as they seem to have been getting positive hype lately.

 

Bring your wallet if you do that.

 

You could get an HKS SC, or even Stillen... you can get to 320hp without too much trouble and I've been told they are CARB pending. Not to mention Stillen's engine warranty...

 

Looking forward to working on your car (if that is what you decide to do) I would be glad to get you a contact list of our (growing) list of VERY satisified customers. PM sent......

 

Alot of sense

 

You can get to 320-350 rwhp with almost any FI application, that will not be a challenge, using stock internals of course.

What you need to carefully think about in planning your modifications is what you intend to be doing with your car, how are you going to be driving it, and what type of performance enhancements do you really need. Both for now, and looking into the future as best you can.

The car has plenty of power STOCK, for most needs. It can be turned from a car that is good for the public, to a car that is a "driver's car" through mods to the suspension and handling, which will make it an amazing car to drive. IF what you are after is not certain to you....take some time with VRT to discuss what you think you want and why. Indeed, try to get a ride in some of their cars, and your car side by side, so they can demonstrate to you what you will actually get for your hard earned money. You can drive and feel the differences and decide what you like, and don't like and know why.

They actually have an approach to improving car performance that is in stages, so you don't buy more performance that you are really going to use or need, and if you want to go more performance oriented, you do not have to "undo" stuff that was done before. Mike A was and is, first and formost....a customer himself. That is why he got in the game with his approach. If you want TT, on a 5AT car....he has done it. But before you go there don't expect him to just sell it to you. He is going to want to be sure that when it is all done, you are thrilled to have exactly what you got, and are not disappointed that you did not get something that you did want, or ticked off that you got more than you needed. An informed decision is the best decision.

 

lol @ suggesting a SC after he said going TT

you do realize he said he did research?

he doesn't have to worry about CARB.. he doesn't live in the People's Republic of Kalifornia

 

O snap. I saw that he wanted to take it to "VRT in cali" so I was thinking he lived there.

In any case, prove me wrong that for 320whp and maximum reliability (his stated #1 priority) he shouldn't go SC.

Just because he did research doesn't mean he did GOOD research

 

you can blow your motor on a TT setup that you can on a SC Setup...

it depends on the tune.. so your reliability claim has no merrit.

some of us would rather have more TQ

its not a minimum but its a good clean setup!
