hey guys, new to team capri. I just bought a 91 xr2 a few weeks ago and im looking to tune her up a bit, ive been reading alot on here and im looking to install an aftermarket boost valve to start, ive already removed the airbox, and plan on swapping the exhaust soon for something less restrictive. all advice, tips, and pointer are welcome, thanks.

Im assuming you put in a cone filter or something similar in place of the airbox?

Opening up the exhaust will help a lot, look to go 2.25" or 2.5"

Keep in mind your boost will start to creep with an opened intake & exhaust, more so when you replace the intercooler & pre-turbo intake pipe. Porting the wastegate on the turbo will help curb this, but it's a decent amount of work to remove the turbo to port it.

You'll want to keep the boost under 10psi until you get a chipped ECU or alternative method of fuel management.

im running an open MAF with a sock slid over it for a filter lol, works pretty well for now until i get something legit. and i plan on running around 9 psi with the controller, untill i port the wastegate and do the exhaust/intake etc.

Put your air box back on, and drill some holes in the bottom of it. You have a turbo engine, you run a very high risk of ingesting foreign materials and ruining the turbocharger & the engine itself.
