Q to those with Supercharged maxes
1. I was wondering how much boost you guys get with the Stillen kit and how many of you have increased the boost from (I think) 5-7lbs using different pullies and who has gone the highest. I have heard 10.5-11.5 on a 3.125" pulley.
Also how many of you have put in ECU upgrades and which ones?
2. I have been searching around on the org for this information. I have found quite a lot of info but need some clarification to piece it all together.
I will be running turbo at 5-7 lbs boost, should I get 1 step or 2 step colder plugs? My tuner recommends at LEAST 1 step.
So either:
1-step NGK PFR6G-11
2-step NGK PFR7G-11
(platinums)
I have also seen that we should reduce the gap 0.005" for every 50 HP above stock. Is this IN ADDITION to running colder plugs? I believe stock plugs are 0.043", does that sound right?
I have read people recommending BKR6E/7E (coppers) too! So which ones?
Thanks!

Lots of questions, most of which you answered yourself. 1 step is plenty for 6 psi, i run mine at about .040. I'm not running any ecu mods at all, everything is peachy with the ignition. I checked my plugs yesterday actually and they looked fine. When running boost, check your plugs frequently, just to be sure everything is running good in the chamber, plugs can tell you a lot.

Highest boost Ive seen is 12, most run 9-10 when changeing. I run 10 now. 12 is pushing it.
Ecu mod worth doing for sure is haltech, though it's expensive and only if you really want to tune it great and with good amount of boost.
1 step colder = about 100hp gain
2 step colder = about 200hp gain
It's a generic rule if your close to one you go with it.
If your only going 5-7 on a turbo go with 1 step.

If you want to put the power down and acually use it you gotta do tranny mods, if you want alot of boost at a point you gotta change piston etc. You get the idea.

As far as tranny goes, what tranny mods do you have in mind? Mine is a 5sp so no VB mod for me!

After what I found out about Don's vb mod, i will never recomend that to anybody at all again.
But for a 4th gen with 10 psi on the tranny I recomend, great clutch, flywheel, short shift kit, at least. If you want to go farther well

Just a quick question:
What other kind of tranny mods are there? I know of the ACT clutch and pressure plate. How about the transmission itself. I know about engine fortification but not much about transmission (gearbox)
Thanks
