I figure since everyone here already knows i'm a complete noob when it comes to my car it can't hurt to go ahead and ask this either Be gentle...
I'm in the process of getting figures together so I know what i'll be up for when I start the process of doing mods to my car (otherwise known as daydreaming lol) which will hopefully be in the not too distant future and I've got a few questions I figure people here can help me with.
Firstly, boost. As it is my car hits boots around 4.5k, so takeoff in 1st is pretty... Uninspiring. I'd like it to kick in faster. around 3k seems like it'd be a nice spot, but I don't really know how any of this works. So in come the mods. I'm figuring I'll need the standard stuff like a FMIC, a boost controller and i guess a decent tune to up the power or whatever, but for this will I also need a new ecu? Or can I get by on just the standard one when there's only a few minor mods? Which brings me to my next question - (If i'd be better off with a whole new computer) would it be better to go for a powerFC with it's boost controller add on, or just a boost controller on it's own if it'll get by on the standard ecu. The car already has a random japanese exhaust of some form (nfi of the brand but it has a JASMA thingy on the bottom) which I *love* the sound of, so I'm not to keen to get rid of it. Assuming that's up to the task, what's the best way to go about squeezing a little more boost/power out of the car?
Or to sum it up (much) simpler... What's the best way to get some more power and earlier boost without spending a gazillion dollar?
