THIS IS NOT A RACE TEAM!

What do you think the race teams started as? Race teams? NO! They started as guys like us trying things out and collaborating together and against each other. The guys on here don't generally have the money to put into all the data collection and standardization your talking about. I sure as hell don't! I just browse around and get ideas based on what is discussed and use my head to figure out what will best suit my goals for the car

Hey man if you got the time and money, be my guest!

CaptAmerica,

You're misunderstanding--I'm not complaining. I simply asked a question about if there were known high quality&performing component combinations (X turbo specs, X i/c, X injection pump, X size of downpipe/exhaust, etc) for those w/ the 617A like me who are looking, and you provided the "shit in a box" analogy. You answered my question--it doesn't seem like there are any proven combos. And that's ok if that's ok with you...

I know this thread is old as the hills, but perhaps the subject is alive...
In summary. think you are simply looking for a baseline, starting point, standard what have you, it just doesn't exist.

The shit-box term in my mind is that set of parts that comes in a box, gets delivered by a shipper, you open it up and spend the weekend bolting it on, all fits "out-of-the box... come Monday presto you have a fast ride.

I think there are ways to establish a baseline, but there are only a few handfuls of people supplying performance pumps.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that you need to establish a goal.
My goal is to get between 160 and 190 HP.
To reach this it is my understanding that the starting point should be a pump that can deliver more fuel.
Once you have that in place, you can try some different components, intercooler, different turbo, and so on.
When you have reached your goal, then you decide if you are happy, or if you want more power and go to the next step.
I don't know about you, but I have chosen to not adjust the MW-Pump.
Not because it can't be done, but because I think it will be hard to reach 190HP with the MW-Pump.
If you don't have more fuel, you won't get more power and everyone I've talked to says the MW-Pump runs out of fuel before reaching the performance thresholds most of us are looking for.
