I have a '96 12 valve auto trans. and I have a torque plate along with 80 hp injectors. It also has a 165 gph airdog 2 in it. I currently have an aFe intake manifold on the way and a cold air intake. Is there anything else i can do to get more air into the mixture, or am i going to have to get a bigger turbo? I dont really know what to do next..... any input would be great, thanks.

 

turbo silencer and disable wastegate or boost controller they make cheap in cab ones but u can build it

 

tranny needs upgraded first, but a $15 boost elbow will almost double your boost. run your turbo in the low 30's

 

What tranny would you recommend? And what does the boost elbow do?

 

your tranny is fine it jut needs a converter and a shift kit. a boostelbow slow the reference pressure to the wastegate delaying the speed in wich it opens thus creating more boost. very nice piece to have on a stock charger.

 

Oh alright I get what it does now. And the shift kit?

 

raises line pressure so you dont fry clutch packs. you remove you valve body - just drop the pan- and in about an hours time you can have the shift kit installed. an $80 shift kit is essentially the $570 valve bodies these companies are selling you. thats why the want our cores. if you can turn a few wrenches and can read some relativly detailed instructions save yourself $500 and do that youself. really really should install a good converter at the same time but if you had to choose between the 2 go with the shift kit for the time being.

 

Thanks, you helped with exactly what I needed to know.

 

Gauges and exhaust. I dunno what your exhaust is currently but you don't have to go spend major $ to get better flow. Especially if inspections where you are are easy to pass. But gauges. And did you read up on how to do the free mods on the pump?

 

free mods? i have an exhaust on the way, i have gauges. i live in wyoming so there isnt any sort of inspections
