Question Mod Choices

Hey guys, as spring is arriving I find the need to develop a mod list:

Problem is if your anything like me you read and do tons of searchs/research on best mods and it all ends up much more confusing for me.

I have a 1986 Turbo and would like it to dyno 250-280 rwhp. I had the engine checked over throughly by a Porsche Tech... and it checked out wonderfully it was babied...

For mods I'm looking to spend about 800-1500 max, I'd also like it to be reliable.

Guru MAP kit, Test pipe will be your best bet. You'll probly need to run around 18psi.

With the MAP kit, about 260rwhp @ 16psi, 275rwhp @ 18psi. That's about max for the stock turbo and injectors @ 3-bar.

With what you want to spend, you will still have money left over from MAP kit to get bigger injectors and run 18psi with MAP, then over 300 at the wheels.

Start with a Tial wastegate(very important), cat bypass and chips. Than the next round would be maf/map, turbo and injectors. If you are very serious and don't want to redo stuff Get a 3" SS exhaust instead of a test pipe.

A good set of chips with WG to hold boost. Manual boost controler after market boost gauge.
