Series 2 + 1 Bar = Good Or Bad?

Off the stock boost sensor line

If a nistune will simply fix my cams I will die with excitement

[lilcrash]

does everyone else have a big hole between the turbo running out of air and the cams coming on??

Not sure what you're saying about the cams but Nistune can alter the VVT points. Stock turbo can make 1 bar easily but is not safe to run at that level. maybe get another boost guage to check or get a Jaycar iebc to run a steady 12 psi. I can't emphasise enough the difference in power levels attainable by a good tuner with the right gear.

S2, PFC, 11-12psi stock turbo, FMIC, 3' zorst = 206awhp

To keep things simple let's set the goal at 200awkw

HKS 2530 @ 10psi + Nistune + 3" high flow exhaust + fmic = 184awkw for me (with a boost leak too).

So a better tune (boost leak now fixed) and 11psi will see over 200awkw with the above combo.

Does the hks 2530 bolt on like stock or what do I need to change ?

[wolverine]

Personally I wouldn't bother with a HKS2530. It is a miniscule upgrade over the stock turbo and there are so many more modern options that are a better bet.

I would run the stocker at 12psi with Nistune and when/if you get the urge to go bigger then you are into a space that will probably require larger injectors, Z32 afm etc.

This will meet your needs and keep your costs down but get you a good streetable result.

Changing turbos to something in used condition that is a bees wang with what you have is expensive and I reckon pointless.
