ok for engin mods ...
i say fo your 3' exhaust turbo back, get a fmic, greedy b.o.v., i get a 255lb fuel pump, the greedy profec b, and a apexi safc, you can break hi 12's with the t-25 as for me for now id out a 14b off a 1g.. and do mid 12's .. but it seems like good mods

Check out typical DSM vendors for a good 3" TURBO BACK exhaust. You'll be glad you did. Dont bother with name brand. Get a good FMIC, like the Kinetic kit at slowboy. The 190 pump will be more than enouhg for the 16g, but if you think you are going to go big later get the 255. Just remember that the 255 REQUIRES an aftermarket regulator. Both are only 100 bucks. Anyone that says it works without one isnt datalogging. T25 will never run 12s, mid 13s at best. 14b will run low 12s if setup properly. 16g will run 11s if done right. Dont forget a clutch, most people do the ACT, and step the flywheel properly for it (.610). Go to www.posracing.net and check out Joe G's mod list. I drove that car to a 12.0 at 115, and it has more in it, and thats on a SMALL 16g ;)

Good luck.

Correct. The guy I mentioned above on our site put down 350, on race gas.

One mod i would do diffrent is the Injen intake.From what i seen the Apexi filter is a better filter . It's a dry filter that cleans better than the oiled style. Not to mention no oil in your intake. Numbers wise it makes slight hp increase over other filters. I would get an intake tube made by Dejontool.com. They come in any many colors and applications plus they should be alittle cheaper. Also you might save some money going to a Walbro or Bosch fuel pump. They both seem to have proven there ability in the DSM ring

I still prefer my 20 dollar 3" intake I made from Home Depot parts :icon16: Works like a champ. Its not pretty, but that doesnt seem to hurt my timeslips.
