LSJ-T questions
Hey LSJ-T guys, I have a few questions. Here's a list of what I have so far.
-stock ko4
-stock lnf intercooler
-stock lnf exhaust manifold
-ottp 3 inch catless down pipe
-magnaflow 3 inch cat back
-lnf o2 housing
-lnf coolant crossover pipe
-maf relocate
-oil and coolant lines
-lnf wastegate
-ottp charge pipes
-ottp intake manifold for lsj-t
-80# injectors and harness
-tial bov
-2.2 alternator kit from ottp
1. What intercooler you guys running? I have the OTTP intake manifold, and OTTP charge pipes. Right now I have a stock LNF intercooler, but I want to upgrade before I start the swap. I also need to upgrade my turbo from a ko4 to hopefully a s256.
2. Boost controller? I was thinking maybe the turbo smart from OTTP, or maybe a hallman pro? Opinions?
3. Exhaust options. Currently I have a stock lnf exhaust manifold, a 3 inch catless OTTP down pipe and the 3 inch magna flow cat back that's on my car. What's a good full exhaust set up for LSJ-T?
4. Anything else I'm missing for this swap? Like I said before, I want to upgrade all the stock lnf parts.

I run a Hahn inter cooler on my red Lsj t and the blue has a zzp. Go with a tr12 honestly.
Get a hall man pro I guess. I use it on my red Balt but blue Balt has a dual stage boost controller from turbo smart. Love it but I'm gonna rip it out and go with a GFB boost controller
Upgrade the clutch to begin with. Stock stuff may not hold the boost. Especially from a ko4 unless you running a lnf clutch

Okay so which clutch should I go with? I want to buy a s256. I already have an ottp catless down pipe, don't wanna get another down pipe for the s257. What makes the aem boost controller better than the hallman pro?

I don't have any experience with the hallman. I run it off the wastegate most of the time And have two other boost settings up to 1.5 X the wg pressure with a press of a button. Very easy and simple to use.
