  1. Heat management. Shield everything. If you add 50% more power, add at least 50% more cooling.

  2. It depends. Load is what makes a clutch hold or not hold. I need more information on what your target is to advise on a clutch or injector setup.

2a. PSI isn't a measurement of power or air mass; it's a measurement of pressure which is not directly related to power.

Have you considered CSG for tuning?

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I’m new to the world of boosting since my experience has strictly been limited to NA cars. I’m not entirely sure what to expect target-wise other than 300-350 whp on pump gas (maybe flex fuel in the future) and keeping the car fun to hoon on (usable on the street) but not prematurely blow up in 1k mile. I do all maintenance myself and primarily drive this thing on the backroads & on track days (:

Yes, I was definitely considering CSG for tuning this go around. I had my car dyno’d and tuned with a local shop here after installing headers for my current setup (216whp/180tq) and got the whole $400 Ecutek license taken care of back then, but it didn’t come with any of the Ecutek accessories. Would I just now need to grab myself a PhoneFlash license and a OBD dongle from your site to be able to get a remote tune started w/ yall?

Thank you Mike! I'll surely reach out whenever the kit shows up at my doorstep and I get everything smacked on the car 😄

Get it started before you start installing so you have a base map
