Boost contoler, K&N filter, 3" exhaust, more timing, disconect the knock sensore, FMI

^^^Those are good ones, although the FMIC can be pricey. 35# injectors with LA3 swap.

Those are more pricy than I just put[&:]

Chemical_Excuse

you guys really think disconnecting the knock sensor is a good idea?.....

sleeper_inc

If you make sure you check for detination than your fine. The knock sensors on the 2.3 are way to sensative, when you disconect it you should lose like a tenth or more off your ET

kool, i think im going to get a k&n filter and a LA3 Swap with 35 injectors. I can get a used computer on ebay for 5 bucks, not that bad, or i could get one at the local junkyard that they say it hasnt been reprogramed.

will this BOV or BPV work with my SVO? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=180095200172

They tend to pick up on vibrations and such and pull timing thinking the car is knocking even if it isn't. Like sleeper said, as long as there is no detonation there is no problem.

Good start. Just remember that the LA3 requires re-pinning a couple of wires. It's not quite a direct swap. A 3 in. downpipe and exhaust is not only a performance adder, but it also makes the cars sound much better. Combine that with the manual boost controller and around 18psi, you've got yourself a pretty quick 4 cyl.

DidI mention thatI am a turbo noob and dont know anything about mods that you can do to them. After looking at other websites, i got some things straight..andtwo unanswered questions.

Is it possible to get a blow off valve on a svo,to get that "woosh" sound?
If i get a boost controler, what do you guys recomend and doI need a better boost gauge(people say the stock one is crap)?

sleeper_inc

Yes a BOV will work, but use the stock one with a manual valve (I think that sounds right) if you go onto ebay and search manual boost controler you should see what I mean, or as tbird, mr merk, or MG man
