Default Time for a few more parts.....

I need to blow some money, so I was wondering if these parts would make any significant difference in performance.
I currently have Stage 2 w/turbo toys, Mopar/Borla exhaust, and AEM CAI in the hp dept.

AGP WGA hooked up to stock lines so that DAB is still functional
MAXXFABB catless dp with 3 inch O2 housing
60-62mm throttlebody
Large FMIC, probably E.D.
Water/Meth injection

Which 3 of these should I go with first with my current set up?

(I may have asked a similiar ? a while back, but got sidetracked by wheels, tires and lowering my ride. Now I'm back on track with power in mind!)

1. ThrottleBody
2. DP/O2 (BIG difference in boost hold with the O2, CTis claims around 11whp)
3. FMIC

I dont know how well other WGA's adapt to the entire S2 setup, I would think those would benefit you the most. Make sure the FMIC is bar and plate, and make sure it has a better flow rate than stock on top of a better cooling rate. Some of them just look pretty. With FMICs more so than other parts you GET what you pay for.

Water/Meth, really won't help too too much with your situation, its better suited for higher HP cars with big turbo setups, etc. At least thats where I've seen it the most successfull, someone please post otherwise if this isn't the case. Then again my friends car with M/I just hydralocked his engine because of an improperly installed progressive controller. Kinda like playing with fire if you ask me.

Also if you don't already have them, grab some plugs, wires, and a coilpack heatshield. Gap the plugs around .040 to start, and work down from there if they aren't giving you the results you desire.

Thats my .02

i agree with lsp, except on the w/i point. w/i on s2 w/toys is very beneficial, as if you run at least a 50/50 mix you typically can hold hom on pump gas. that in itself is a huge benefit to getting it, plus it's pretty cheap. you can get a decent kit for around $150-200. w/i also lowers your egts which is never a bad thing. i'm running a devil's own s1 kit with dual 3lhp jets and it's been great. the coolingmist kits are also very good. snow performance is great, but a lot more money than the others.

if someone hydrolocked their motor using w/i they either were running way too large a jet, had a faulty controller, or just plain old screwed up the install. that's not something that's very common. there are tons of people running w/i and don't have a problem.

Yeah he screwed up the install on the controller, it stayed on while the car was on accessory, pumped 5gallons into the UPP, he started the car...and well you know the story.

Like I said, someone else would better know than me with that. But the only thing I would substitute the W/I with...is the FMIC. I would 100% go with the TB and the O2/DP.

Absolutely, and the dyno was blamed for it, stating that the company didn't know how to work a W/I setup properly, when in truth it wasnt hooked up right. Which you, I and everyone with any general knowledge of w/i would realize.

i would go w/a inj, o2 housing/dp, tb, fm. im running an enginerunup w/a kit on a stock turbo and it makes a world of difference. i havent got it tuned yet, but at 20psi im not pulling timing as bad as it used to.

So as long as I get a kit with the proggresive controller......
PSI:You said "devilsown" was good?
LSP:I have colder plugs gapped about .038 and MSD wires
You don't think that the AGP will do better than the Stg 2 WGA?
Thanks for all the info guys.

yea i'm running a devil's own kit, no complaints yet. cooling mist is good too, but a friend of mine went through hell trying to get his kit to work. the devil's own is a little cheaper too, i got mine with the 3 bar map sensor and dual 3lph nozzles for $300, single stage progressive. i'm happy with it........

the agp wga will hold boost much better than the s2 wga will
