Need advice on tuning


Recommended Posts

I am sure this topic has been discussed to death but I imagine that different situations warrant different approaches. I need advice on the best company to go with having the following:

(Currently, the k16 are still in the car and I just removed the OEM exhaust)

1. K24 turbochargers.

2. FVD exhaust. Was the 100 cell version but the cats have been hollowed.

I am probably going to have to run o2 spacers to avoid a CEL. I have a 5 bar fpr to install as well. Also, does anything else have to be installed to accommodate the k24's?

Thanks

I think you will also find yourself in the market for larger intercoolers and injectors as well to get the most out of the K24's. You are at the top of a very slippery slope with this upgrade.

Did not think about the injectors. I am okay with bigger intercoolers. Correct me if I am wrong but does the x50 option have k24's? If so, I am assuming they have intercooler that match that would accommodate my changes.

Any recommend vendors for bigger injectors? (if not allowed by forum rules, sorry-please ignore)

I think you are correct in that the X50 option includes both the K24's and larger intercoolers. As for which injectors, you would need to research those that have done one of these upgrades to see what they used. You should also note that the X50 package was a $17K adder to the base car, so there is probably a lot more included.
