Get rid of the mopar BOV....


Motor mounts, wideband O2 for when you start to mess with boost, FM or AGP wastegate, downpipe, catch can. Eff an intake, stock will do you fine unless you just want to clean up some space.

dont waste your money on a turbotimer unless your an impatient person

upgrade your wastegate first since the stock one sucks

I have a question tho, if i get a 3" exhaust, will i still need a downpipe?....And what does porting your throttle body mean?

Why get rid of it? Oh yea n wont i get better performence if I get a better intake? N what does a catch can exactly do?

Im planning on buying a Stage III Turbo Kit ( AGP Turbochargers, Inc. :: SRT-4 :: Turbo Upgrades :: SRT-4 Garrett GT Ball Bearing Turbocharger Upgrade Kit )

and Im willing to still spend more money on a new intake, exhaust, and whatever else I need to support the Stage III turbo kit (GT3076R).

The motor mounts gives you better handling right?

Oh yea and guys im a busy guy so I cant do alot of research but I still want a super fast car....

Intake is minimal to no gains at your level, money is better spent.

A downpipe is part of your exhaust, most companies will sell it with the exhaust system if it's a turboback. You won't get one with a catback

The mopar BOV is notorious for leaking. If you're going to go big turbo, you need to get a real BOV and hard pipe setup anyways. See agp.

You don't need ported stuff, shut up noob. Not yet. Better, more basic stuff to buy. Porting is basically when you shave out material from the inside of your parts, allowing more air flow and less restriction. You don't need it because you're not pushing enough air to be restricted.

A catch can catches oil that comes out of your PCV valve that ends up going into your coldside pipe.

A GT3076R is not a stage three turbo. Unless you plan to run 30+ pounds, don't get it. You want hard hitting power throughout the powerband, you get a .50 trim with a .48 housing... If you want it at the top of your powerband also, you get a dbb .50 with a .63 housing. If you want a good tried and true turbo that gets ya everywhere alright, you get a regular .50 with a .63 housing.

If you plan on going big turbo, don't even bother gettin the agp wastegate, you'll be getting a different wastegate with the kit anyways.

ugghhh i hate being called a noob, i am sort of but i no alot more than ur average noob, i only said porting cuz i was throwing a bunch of stuff out their incase he wanted to upgrade his turbo which he seems to want to do, and yes u should get a turbo timer because if ur upgrading u want to run it as safley as possible and if u arent patient enough to let ur car cool after driving then a turbo timer is for u... even if ur staying stock, it wont do imediate damage but over time itll decrease turbo longevity

pardon my french noob but even after hard driving, all u need is 3 minutes w/ the car on for the turbo not to blow to hell, the tt its just a luxury not a performance mod
