you dont need to buy the missing link because hahn sends their own. you don't need upgraded manifold studs, the ones they send are just fine, you could use the vortech, however, its not needed until you start getting bigger injectors and running more than 10psi of boost, you dont need to protect the a/c hoses, they wont get hot enough, if you want to get an intake pump, go for it, but having the noise is kinda nice i think.. people think you really have something going on. the noise isn't all that bad either.

>you dont need to buy the missing link because hahn sends >their own. Which sucks in my opinion. Search the board, there is plenty of discussion on this one. I chose the ML >you don't need upgraded manifold studs, the ones >they send are just fine yeah right, I have to retorq those things twice a week. Get 4g63 exhuast mani 8mm studs and bolts. Trust me
>you could use the vortech, however, >its not needed The hahn FPR sucks. Wont keep the same fuel pressure at all. Everytime you start the car its a different story

yeap. good list. if you like adjusting fuel pressure every time you start the car, by all means keep the vortech.

I dont have many problems with my hahn fuel pressure regulator. The only time I do have problems is when i do 4 or more constant runs at the track. Which I don't do because I let the car cool down.
The hahn fuel cut defensor works just fine. Too many people use them for there to be a problem.
I never have to torque down my exhaust manifold bolts. Maybe your car shakes too much. ;)

Many people have also had problems outof the hahn FCD. and the Hahn FPR 99.999999% of the time COMPLETELY sucks. and you will need to get the missing link if you ever plan on running lots of boost, to keep your stock MAP from being destroyed. www.TeamKLR.com 1997 Silver RS Wiseco 8.8:1 Pistons(back to low compression!)

>you dont need to buy the missing link because hahn sends >their own.
Wrong, Hahn's Fuel Cut Defenser SUCKS. It doesn't prevent the voltage changes reiably. You NEED the missing link in order to have a dependable system.
>>you don't need upgraded manifold studs, the ones >they send are just fine,
I disagree, many people have had problems with the studs and nuts that HRC sends - make it easy on yourself and get the 4G63 Exhaust manifold studs and nuts - you'll thank me later.
>>you could use the vortech, however, >its not needed until you start getting bigger injectors and >running more than 10psi of boost,
I disgaree, the Cartech FMU HRC sends with the kit is also un-reliable. You will not have rock solid fuel pressures like the Voretech SFMU provides. Get the Vortech SFMU, hands down. Fuel is of the utmost importance, not upgrading to a vortech could mean the end of your stock pistons. Imagine running the car WOT and being extremely lean because you thought your fuel pressure was in check. The Vortech SFMU will never let you down.
>>you dont need to protect the >a/c hoses, they wont get hot enough,
That's true
>>if you want to get an >intake pump, go for it, but having the noise is kinda nice i >think.. people think you really have something going on. the >noise isn't all that bad either.
The noise does sound kinda high-tech, but in most instances people dislike it -- you can take care of that later.
p.s. I didn't mean to go against you, just stating my beliefs. My car is living proof-- Every engine is different, but I have good results with what I mentioned above, as I am turning over 10,000 turbo miles without any problems.
