greddy turbo on, but redlining early... also need help on what upgrades to do??
i have a greddy turbo with emanage on my d16z6 93 hatch and i am redlining 2nd at like 55mph, and it seems early. so will a 255hp fuel pump help? and msd ignition box (which one)? and a vafc 2? and which gauges should i get i have air/fuel and boost but they suck and arent accurate so im ditching em. i just want to keep my turbo running smooth and be able to monitor it. i do plan on getting it tuned after i install these mods and my fmic. but what is neccesary and what is not??

Are you saying that you want longer gears so you can go faster in each gear??
I wouldn't really recommend that...I guess you could swap the tranny for like a VX tranny or something, my wife's VX will do 75mph in 2nd!! But that would kill your torque..
Just shift before you get to the redline...what's wrong with going through the gears fast?

Mph and gearing shouldnt change when you turbo, maybe you jsut think like that because on stock it accellerate slow and now it accellerating alot faster. well atleast to my experience. Longer gearing doesnt help

that redline mph sounds about right for a si tranny. i went with a 00dx tranny 1 cus it helped me lauch better bit longer gears and 2 it was only 100bucks compared to the 250 i found the si trannys for
