    Upgrading to 19Ts

    My 19Ts just arrived from Turbo Bob (timp3kgt)


    Here's the plan:
    All mods in my sig +
    Denso pump
    Evo 560 injectors
    Meth
    Chromed 99 ECU
    Custom fine tuned ROM by Monochrome
    Maximal TC bracket

    500HP target...

    The "to do" list: (12 step program for my car)
    1) fix current boost leak (working on it - see my BOV thread)I think my BOV is dead... **on the other site**
    2) install denso pump (have it)
    3) rebuild throttle body (have it)
    4) set up LCD boost controller/datalogger (have it)
    5) install TC bracket (on it's way)
    6) install wideband (GOT IT)
    7) install turbos at wastegate pressure (HAVE THEM!)
    8) set up 99 ecu (need to order, have the harness)
    9) install injectors (need to order)
    10) install meth kit (need to order)
    11) start tuning
    12) Dyno and fine tune

    Comment and suggestion box is open.

    I think you should spend your money on a good intercoolersystem instead of a meth kit. better way of lowering your intake tems and more fail safe.

    Sounds similar to my current build, except I am not running meth.

    Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out.

    After Ray P did his last build using the stock SMICs I decided to save my money. Stockers almost never have the surging issue, and Meth is way cheaper than ICs and Meth is perfectly safe.

    To a point. Unless you're shooting into each intake runner to ensure even distribution there's always the fear that one cylinder will be running hotter than another.

    Or the system fails, wouldn't worry about it too much though. Sounds like a pretty good plan. You're going to love the 19t's

    There are fail safe measures for meth, and I've never really heard any meth horror stories. Most guys who install meth highly recommend it to other people after they see how well it works... I'm pretty sure there would be a huge anti-meth movement if it was that big of a risk. Anyone able to weigh in with a meth disaster to even out my thought process, because I think it's all good from what I've heard so far.
