Default newbie to HMT.com

Wassup guys and gals. I've been looking into boosting my A6 that i have laying around and ive been doing quite a bit of research on here for a while also on HT and HS where i am a member. I have gotten a lot of great advice on those sites i hope this one will be the same.

my ride
1991 STD w/ 1992 LS
i/h/e no cat
exedy organic, streetlite flywheel
B&M short shifter, grant GT steering wheel(pos)
tein SS, tokico blues, poly bushings (1/2 installed)
15x6 VW steelies w/ kumho 711 195-50-15




my plans
shooting for ~250whp
light build on the A6
T3 super 60 or large T3
prob zdyne for EM

im still researching so nothing is out of the question
any ?'s comments, flaming or whatever is appreciated

joe

That could be a nice little sleeper. Good luck with the project and I'm sure you'll find all of the info you need here.

mild build? what will that consist of? and where are you from?


on that A6, you could reach 200hp, with a good turbo set-up, and some good fuel management.

hey im a newb to!

i have a 2003 cavalier ls sport with 2.2L ecotec. i heard of this site from jon fisher(airtonics) who is a member of a club i belong to. i am ordering a complete turbo kit from cavalierconnection.com which comes with a turbo header instead of a mani. just thought i would say hello to everyone too.

that car definately has sleeper potential, that would be sweet.

yeah.. there really isnt a whole lot out there for my car yet, kinda a limited selection of where i can get a kit from.. my buddy is making all of intercooler piping. all i need is a Fmic. the people im getting the kit from want 1000 dollars to buy their intercooler and piping kit, which is a rip off.
