Power, the responsible way? 2.7T BEL, 115K
This is all TBDW after I finish the maintenance, but AWE has some good prices right now.
Eventually, I'd like a GIAC chip. Adding power always comes at a price beyond cash, I have some ideas and would like some feedback.
GIAC adds about 110ft/lbs, I assume partially through timing and mostly through boost. I want the rest of the engine to remain as reliable as possible.
Swapping to the Samco boots seems like a good idea. Is there any need to change the post-turbo intake pipes as well, or is that more a flow issue than reliability?
The half-moon seals under the cam chain tensioners seem like they'll continue to be the weakest link (I'm under the impression that's intentional), what vacuum/breather components should I check/replace to ensure the engine isn't going to pop those seals? Combi valves, other? The combis do have some gunk in them.
Diverter valves? I assume turbo death will come quickly, if the car is chipped and the DVs are not functioning properly. Should I attempt to clean the stock DVs, or upgrade?
Anything else?
Thanks,
Sean

replace the 'suction jet pump' which draws a suction on breather tubes, usually gets clogged, leading to increased crankcase pressures, which blows gaskets. doing mine now. search on this site there are some good writeups.
