cheap, fast, reliable... pick 2, all 3 are not attainable...
for extra cooling... car will not run at full potential if your heat soaking...

I haven't had any issues of heat soak yet on the stock IC tuned.
Misinformation is lose.
Solid upper mount doesn't stop wheel hop man.
Get the rotated trans mounts from OTTP, and put the stock mount back on.
And on this Pre turbo MAF set up, no matter the turbo, all you are going to do is confuse the **** out of the car.
At least it will go rich vs lean...but still...I am pretty sure someone makes a better recirc valve.

Buddy, get a tune before anything.
Trust me
yawn! This is the most uninforming thread on this website.
and yes i do have a solid motor mount because for some reason I don't like wheel hop and as far as the BOV (I think someone commented on that) I am doing a turbo upgrade when it gets warmer outside so I kinda need that. Wow some people are dumb. Atleast I don't want a fart can and go hang out with some honda guys lol. Dude you shoulda saved your money and bought a 1991 honda civic. lol

is the stock intercooler not big enough?
all the posts i have seen state that if you get solid upper mounts it will eleminate wheel hop

I had one.
Got rid of it for OTTP's rotated trans mounts, that actually get rid of the hop.
Stock intercooler is big enough, did you not read my post?
Jesus, I am about done with this thread.
i did read it how much were the other mounts to get and put in?

yes the solid motor mount does reduce wheelhop. I'm sorry if you think they don't but the fact is they do. THe stock intercooler is pretty efficient but if you plan on doing a turbo upgrade or swap then you better change her our. I have seen quite a few dyno graphs where around 300hp and up the stock intercooler starts becoming heat soak. And yes the atmospheric BOV does cause you to run rich but it has also been noted by boostking that this happens for a very small fraction of second and causes no performance loss. I believe he said like .01 seconds with the rich condition. WHen I got my tune I also had this checked by Trifecta and he said it is so small that it will do nothing to performance or longtime reliability. Please do some research before you make assumptions about something you don't even have on your car.

X2. A tune is the best bang for the buck for these cars.
I need those mounts I just have to convince the wife to let me spend the money.
OP, alot of guys are starting off with the charge piping. Ide say look into that as well as a tune.
Notice the ones flaming steddy are the ones that have no ******* clue what to do?
Listen to the guys that know the car and quit spewing mis information.
And FYI for you guys, Solid mounts WILL NOT eliminate wheel hop. Period. Get over it.

OP
Tune
Catless DP
Charge piping in that order.
Everyone else
Cry to someone who ******* cares
That part wasnt for you it was for everybody.
Steddy is a douche because of people like you, You need to respect the people that know what they are talking about instead off running them off, like the guys like you have the rest of the smart guys on this site

**** I am hear to stay, and had to ask the retarded questions at meets and in person to people to learn.
You live, you learn, and you don't give a ****.
Who cares?
The guy has enough info in this thread to have a 300whp SS with relatively little work.
And if I am not a dick about it, it won't send a message out to all the other lurkers who don't wanna read up first.
