I can vouch for the new guys. They're from a local forum I crossposted on. This shit was too funny to NOT bring it to their attention.

Oh, those aren't my screen names. They're members of Dallasimports.net, a local car forum. We have a Mitsubishi section. They think you're funny.

I'm sorry I had to join just to post in this 1 thread, but d.amn.

To the original poster, I really hope your buddy does not take a single word of advice from lil_italy773 as everything he has said in this thread is complete BS in regards to DSM's. He has obviously never laid his hands on one or even been near one, or anyone who has a clue about them. If you buddy has any questions, and wants real answers regarding upgrading the turbo on his 98 GSX, just ask anyone what FP is in regards to DSM's and have him give my shop a call and ask for me. I will set him straight.

#1 You're wrong

#2 You're an idiot

#3 Shut up because you know nothing about DSMs

Another DSMer coming from Dallas Imports am I. lil_italy you are retarded, and you need to shut up because you know jack about dsm performance.

I currently run a GT35R powered 98 GSX that runs 7.56 @ 92 mph in the 1/8th on 20 psi and pump gas. Self wrenched, self tuned.

To the thread starter, listen to nothing this idiot has to say, because he is just that, an idiot, trying to strut his e-peen about a subject he knows NOTHING about.

Back on topic, to upgrade a turbo you need a lot more than just a GSX. there are a lot more mods that need to be done in the process to get the car prepared for the increased airflow and boost. Fuel being the biggest factor, and what you're going to use to control it. More air means more fuel needed to compensate.

What about an intake? The OEM filter box can't flow worth anything, and a K&N replacement filter is recommended as well as a hard pipe between the MAF and the turbocharger (with BOV recirculation of course) to increase laminar flow between the filter and the turbocharger. Keep the future in mind when deciding on an intake, you don't want to get one that is the exact size of the compressor inlet, because when you upgrade in the future, it will choke the turbo. I would recommend a 3" intake pipe, and just use a silicone coupler to downsize it to the inlet of your turbo.

The 2g OEM blow off valve is a piece. Get an aftermarket upper intercooler pipe with a DECENT aftermarket valve (such as a 1g BOV, or HKS with recirc fitting). I would steer away from Greddy for valves.

EXHAUST!!!!!!! There are many designs out there. If you stick with an OEM O2 housing, get it ported out IMMEDIATELY, because you are going to start creeping once you open up the post turbine exhaust., or you can go with an o2 eliminating exhaust and not have to worry about it. Just do your research and find one that is not going to cause oil filter change issues.

Next up being a new fuel pump. Only one you can use in the OEM 2g saddle fuel tank is a walbro 255lph high pressure pump. Good for about 450hp worth of fuel. After that, TUNING!!!!!

Here's a HUGE important factor. The more you spend on tuning equipment, typically, the better you are off in the long run. DSMlink is the tried and true method for dsm tuning (for timing and fuel control), and can compensate for 1250cc injectors to make them idle and cruise like stock (and still retain decent gas milage, I get 29mpg on my 1000's on the highway with some "play time" as well).

BOOST GAUGE / GAUGE POD!!! I'll leave this one to you.

After this, you can probably safely turn the boost up on the t-25 to 16lbs on a boost controller (i would recommend a Halman). No more than 16psi because that is the limit of that turbo's efficiency, after that you're blowing hot air, overwhelming (heatsoaking) the sidemounted intercooler and risking severe detonation.

Now it's time for injectors. If you get DSMlink, I would recommend going with the biggest injectors you can fork the cash out for, because again, DSMlink can neck down whatever you throw at it to work well on the street. I would say limit yourself to 1000cc injectors. They will last you a LONG time.

NOW you can start thinking about a turbo upgrade. For a beginner / newbie into the DSM world, I would not recommend going larger than an MHI evo3 16g. Mind you, DO NOT BUY THE CRAP TURBOCHARGERS FROM EBAY!!!!! They WILL fail on you and can take your engine out with them. Buy quality turbochargers from reputable companies, such as Forced Performance. You will spend a little more money on them, but with that comes ease of mind that your money bought you a quality part, not some joe-blows rebuilt/resell turbo.

After that, learn how to tune your car for yourself and you are on your merry way to having a happy DSM.

Then you can start thinking about the high end performance mods. Front mounted intercooler, sheet metal intake manifold, cams, methanol injection.... the fun stuff.

to the op: you may not realize it but the people coming on here to give you advice are some of the most knowledgeable people in the dsm scene. Forced Performance is known and respected worldwide,way beyond dsmers. do not take their advice lightly.
