i'm still trying to decide on which kit i'm going with, but i know it will be a single turbo, but it won't go on until after my warranty ends (1 year). so in the mean time i was looking into some simple bolt on mods, mrev2 manifold, 5/16" spacer, unorthodox pulley, and intake. will i still be able to use these once the turbo kit is installed. i don't want to waste money, but i would like to add a little pop to the car. by the way i have the 35th anniversary z.

 

get an exhaust, a utec and thats it...

 

If it ever comes out, I would also get the cosworth intake.

 

Spacer = yes
Mrev2 = yes, but not sure if it makes gains at all..
Exhaust = yes but make sure it's a good turbo back exhaust
Pulleys = don't do them
Intake = won't work with turbo

As Jeremy said a UTEC would be ncie too. Any plenum mod will work.

 

Exhaust, EMS and that's about it.

I really don't want to put any more power-related mods on my system because I want to make sure my engine stays together for a long period of time.

Secondly, there is no guarantee that some of these breather mods are of any real benefit hence, 3" exhaust and and EMS (Engine Management System) a la Greddy EU or UTEC.

 

like tauran said, the most important part is gonna be the turbo back exhaust including test pipes, y pipe etc. so the turbo can breathe. Other than that it seems like the only bolt on worth doing is some kind of upper plenum mod

 

There won't be any test pipes y-pipe on a TN ST. All you need is a 3" custom made pipe from the downpipe back.
