What kind of intake should I get? What kind of exhaust should I get?

it's been discussed over and over and over again and the genereal consensus is......................make your own.

All you need for your exhaust(turbo) is a universal high flow cat and muffler. Take them to a muffler shop, it's very important that you check if the shop does mandrel bending and not compression bending. Mandrel bending flows better. The muffler shop will normally install your muffler and cat much cheaper than buying a name brand cat-back with high flow cat. You can also ask them to make you a downpipe while you are there. That will most likely also be cheaper and of a higher quality than the cheapest Ebay one.

Non turbo models you basically can do the same thing but if you want a full exhaust you will have to buy a header, not "headers," along with your universal high flow cat and muffler



Now, for the intake. whether you want a CAI (cold air intake) or SRI (short ram intake) all you need to do is find the cheapest one possible on Ebay or other websites. Go out and buy a K&N cone filter that will fit that diameter of pipe and there you have it.

1g to 2g MAF Conversion Info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went around on the internet and just put together this little chart on the MAF conversion. Please feel free to reply with edits. (ps the "=>" indicates what it will connect to on the other harness.)

1G TURBO MAF

1 - Idle position switch
2 - Air flow sensor (signal)
3 - MPI control relay
4 - 5V power supply
5 - None
6 - Ground
7 - Barometric pressure sensor
8 - Intake air temperature

1G N/T MAF

1 - Air flow sensor (signal)
2 - MPI control relay
3 – 5V power supply
4 – Ground
5 – Barometric pressure
6 - Intake air temperature

2G TURBO MAF

1 – 5V Power supply
2 – Barometric pressure
3 – Air flow sensor
4 – MPI control relay
5 – Ground
6 – Intake air temperature
7 – Volume Air Flow


CONVERSION: <1g nt MAF -to- 1g turbo MAF>

Pin2 1g Turbo MAF => Pin1 1g NT MAF
Pin3 1g Turbo MAF => Pin2 1g NT MAF
Pin4 1g Turbo MAF => Pin3 1g NT MAF
Pin6 1g Turbo MAF => Pin4 1g NT MAF
Pin7 1g Turbo MAF => Pin5 1g NT MAF
Pin8 1g Turbo MAF => Pin6 1g NT MAF

CONVERSION: <1g turbo MAF -to- 2g turbo MAF>

Pin1 1g Turbo MAF => ?
Pin2 1g Turbo MAF => Pin3 2g Turbo MAF
Pin3 1g Turbo MAF => Pin4 2g Turbo MAF
Pin4 1g Turbo MAF => Pin1 2g Turbo MAF
Pin5 1g Turbo MAF => - (doesn’t seem like it will be used)
Pin6 1g Turbo MAF => Pin5 2g Turbo MAF
Pin7 1g Turbo MAF => Pin2 2g Turbo MAF
Pin8 1g Turbo MAF => Pin6 2g Turbo MAF
