Default going stage 3, some questions-tip content

after many years of STG 2+ i am finally pulling the trigger on the ASP fueling and 3zero3 TC (thanks cole!) DRgolfnut, i want my car to run like yours! anyway, while im in there, i suppose i should do motor mounts (RS4?) Snub (ECS?) but i am going to keep stock FP, do i need an mbc and fpr Can anybody help me figure out what i dont have/need? the K04s and inlets are already here...thanks!

Default congrats on the decision.

If you are taking advantage of the ASP fueling kit sale (like I did one year ago) then you will not need an MBC, and will run stock fpr. I dont see any IC listing in your sig so you may consider an upgrade. I run an X-1 intake, which lowers my MAF readings 30-40 g/s from what my darintake would show. I am sure they can adjust the fueling to account for the different MAF values.
I do not have any upgraded motor mounts or snub, but I do have an ASP DTS (dunno if I can tell a difference).

Default wow,nice

Installing K04s, fueling kit and TC for $1400 is a bargain. I think you'll be happy.

Default There are two schools of thought

- in the left corner, weighing in at 50%, there is the thought of `well, I don't need to replace that part, it will be fine'

- in the right corner, also weighing in at 50% is the thought of `well, I think for good measure I'm going to replace that part while I'm in there'

I chose to replace with new OEM - the turbo oil lines, turbo vacuum lines, the N75 and some sensors `while we were in there' - this will begin to add up fast $$. When I ordered these items I also ordered the hardware that goes with each - new crush washers, new banjo bolts, extra o-rings and clips, etc.

My observation is that many people choose not to replace these items, it's a judgment call.

With that said, IF you do choose to replace them - find out all the part numbers and order everything early enough so that your project is not held up (some take time to source). Contact Carson if you go this route.


PS: as you may already know, the fueling kit you purchased comes with a new coolant temp sensor (so you're set on that one)
