I also saw a "intake heater plug" that says it helps unblock the intake. is this an issue? does this $9.00 part really make a difference in performance?
next question: are the intercooler and turbo boots that they sell worth it? do they help keep up pressure? do the stock ones really suck that bad?
Thanks for the answers!  |
JMO so take it for what it's worth....
forget about the wicked-wheel, I doubt you have surge problems. Now after you put a chip on it you may experience surge & you'll know when you do, a ported compressor housing is the 100% cure but costs $$$. The w-w is the older style wheel which will flow a little less air but might take care of the surge. BTW you can get a w-w for $75 @ XDP
I don't put much stock in the heater delete plug deal, might make a difference if you're trying to make a 500hp engine.
The boots look nice & if you have a leak would be a good thing but if it ain't broke don't f with it.
I'd put the gauges & chip then go from there, I'm sure there will be plenty of things to spend your $$ on
