Need some informed opinions
I've always been an N/A kinda guy until I picked up my first vette (01 coupe). Now for some reason I'm really thinking boost is in my future. Being I know next to nothing about boosted cars I figured I'd ask the pros. My current set up is as follows
2001 a4 113,000 on the clock
rpm stage 5 4l60 with a yank ss3600
rpm 3 rib stage 3 diff with 3.73's
prc 5.3's with an ms3 cam
fast 90/90 ported by mamo
obx headers
thats the basic rundown and I'm really wanting to know what NEEDS to be changed on my current setup to be a halfway decent boosted car. Thanks for any info

Your fairly close to us, feel free to call next week if you would like to talk about your options in length, or stop in for test drive if you like.

sell your FAST and put a stock intake back on. I've seen too many split under boost and they don't make replacement lowers, so if it's salvageable it'll be a home repair that I expect you'll get much less for afterwards.

Thanks for the replies. My real questions come from the cam/conveter that are in the car. I've seen some old posts that say the ms3 isn't to bad for boost but I haven't seen anybody running a 3600 and 3.73's

We have plenty of guys running 3.73's and a 3600 stall, on the street too, but mainly racers.

Wow that's good to hear! I really thought the converter/gear was going to be a no-no. Does anybody know the power level the trans/rear would be safe for? Rpm's site doesn't list. I may have to call Monday
