    turbo is bolt on.

    You dont have to crack a single gasket on the motor.

    even though you should.

    the LIM and VC gaskets are probably leaking/going to leak in the next couple years.

    And to answer: Searching Forums Query: maf upgrade

    No, unless you're outflowing your stock one, theres no point. You're not going to gain anything.

    and?

    when you're done you put a plug in it.

    I'm thinking take two GXP's and weld the second engine in the rear of the first car.

    600 HP and two V8's.........

    You would need a new transmission with all that most likely.

    the cam kinda dictates what heads you'll wanna get.
    with that setup, you'll be going fast. unless it's just an xp or vs or s1x cam. but if you're getting heads, get a bigger cam. high flow cat maybe? like bio said, what are your goals? 4k will get you a lot and you'll still have money for a TEP trans
