A bit more power for the engine???

The STG ultimate 3bar chip seems to be the way to go. But What version do i need for stock engine and intercooler?
After i get the chip and 3bar map sensor, is it ok to remove the cat? The cat was damaged, and the truck had overboost after replacing it with a pipe, so a guy made some restriction in the pipe thats in the place of the cat.

Im not sure bout the boost, but i will check it, if therl be a bit more overboost, il make the restriction a bit bigger. Will the stock boost guage (totaly inacurate, right?) be ok, to check if the boos is solid?
I have the Walbro 255 high pressure on the list already, so i can be sure that i wont go out of fuel, if i will put a bit bigger turbo someday in it.
What FPR would guys you suggest? I cant get no of these parts where i live (Latvia), thats why i have to get some exact names.
I couldnt find the FPR for a typhoon in the ATR website.

I maybe have a chance to get them delivered by a guy from the states, may dad knows him weary well.
Is there only one universal ATR FPR, or is there a special one for a Sy/ty? Or the ATR one is not as good as others?
Can someone give me the email for MrSyclone?
Oh, and there is one more thing i would like to know. The Chip supports up to 24psi boost, right? With the changes that i plan to make, would it be enough to run the 24psi Boost, and would it be safe? Well i dont plan to do it the whole time, most of the time i would run it on the least powerful settings. Or i should get some better injectors and a bigger Wastgate too?

Yes, the Ultimate is about the only chip out there for our trucks, except for a custom burnt one. If you are staying with the stock turbo you will need to keep some sort of restriction in the exhaust, either cat or muffler. I ran mine with just a cat and no muffler for a long time and had no overboost.
With the stock turbo you could run up to 24#'s of boost but you are really getting out of the range that the stock turbo is efficiant<sp>.
Also, with a stock turbo your fine with the stock injectors. Alot of people have taken the stock inj well into the mid to low 12's.
As far as a AFPR, I have a ATR but I would recommend a full billet one. Mine's lasted for about 5 years and have had no problems but I like the billet ones better. I was stupid back then
You could run a external wastegate and then not have to worry about overboost
Sorry about the long post but I HTH

Is a wastegate, the same as a dumpvalve?
What is a full billet ATR?
How long does the stock turbo last? I think my truck has almost 200 000km, and the turbo was serviced once, but im not sure what the problem was.
Is there a way to remove the air conditioner, so that the stock intercooler remains?
Im askin all this, becouse i want to make sure that my truck runs with the minimal amount of problems.

A full billet AFPR is one that is all aluminum, and rebuildable. The ATR is one that is a stock FPR with just the top "chopped" off with a billet cap put on. At least it used to be, looks like they may have changed it. I haven't looked at ATR stuff in a long time. Go to McCoy or RPM's website and look at their stuff.

Not sure what you are meaning by dumpvalve. All a wastegate does is "bleed" off exhaust pressure resulting in regulating boost. It can be internal "stock type" or external. Going with an external on a stock turbo is ALOT better.
A stock turbo can last a long time, it just matters on how well it is taken care of. Since your has about 125k miles on it and it has been rebuilt I would say it should be ok for a while. Just make sure you change the oil regularly.
Hope this helps
