    So I discussed years ago with you all I wanted more power and you all say top swap etc etc but I never could..it wasn't in my budget, most mods I have now have been bought for me as gifts.
    Well I came home to a late birthday gift. TOP SWAP





    My main question is do it have everything I need, my brother said i need a idler pully, but do you see anything else?

    That's one heck of a bday gift, im pretty jealous. I've also been wanting to do this for a couple years. To answer your question, from what I've read on here, headers, scan gauge, and a good tune

    Ill get headers one day, but for now tstat,colder plugs,downpipe and incar tune will have to do, I trust overkill can tune the car with lil to 0 KR.
    ya guy i bought the topswap off of gave me few extra things, the ps pump, PCM,boost guage etc.
