Is full bolt ons all at one time a bad idea?
Is full bolt ons all at one time a bad idea? Like the title says do you think doing full bolt ons all at once would be a bad idea? I don't' have the cash or enough time over summer to start modding so i was planning to just install all the bolt on's over winter while being stored in my garage. I want to get rid of the air/egr also and don't feel like paying the extra 100-50 dollars for someone to delete the codes. so should i start slowly modding or just wait?
I think its a great idea. Most install one at a time and claim to feel a "seat of the pants" increase in power with each, but if you do them all at once and drive the car again it will feel like a completely different car. Especially if you did longtubes and a fast 90/90 setup and had it tuned. I guarantee you'll feel that.

I'll give you one thing to consider. If you add a bunch of mods at one time and something is wrong with the car it will be harder to know which part is causing it.
Its not much to worry about though. I would wait on the tune until you get a cam unless you need to clear codes for inspection.

I have to agree with a couple posts above. Diagnosing and fixing a problem will be much easier if you do the mods one at a time. Think of it this way, if your car started missing one day would you run to the parts store and buy every possible part that could be the problem and install them? Most likely not, you would replace one item at a time until you found the culprit. Just commonsense, I think. Good luck with whichever route you chose
I voted for "don't do it...just one at a time" from the standpoint of diagnosing problems. I've done some of the most benign installs, and they have caused some of the weirdest issues that I would have never thought of if I hadn't taken my time. I've also done a whole host of mods at once, and got lucky a couple of times.
There are always gremlins though...rarely (if ever) do any of my mods go 100% smoothly.

It won't hurt anything to do all of the mods at once. If you install a P&P TB and a set of longtubes at the same time and start having a problem, anyone with some experience will know what's wrong regardless of the fact that you did more than one mod. The symptoms and likely SES codes to be thrown are going to be different for different problems that come from different mods. Don't think twice.

Having been there & done that. Still on list for bolt ons, 11.49..
If I did it all over, I absolutely would do EVERYTHING at once. You dont realize how much $$ you save by doing it this way.
You only have to pay for one tune, you get all the codes deleted and cats, ERG, etc, done along with the codes.
The items that are bolt ons, if installed properly, you wont have many issues with. Just take your time & you'll be ok. JMO

I'm doing all mine at once. Seems to be the way to go. I hate having to tear into one thing more than once. Figure while its all apart do it all. 6grand later bamm. I'm broke still waiting for the car to get put together
but i'd say do a few at a time that way you'll feel more of a difference and you wont be disappointed because most bolt-ons dont yield huge gain by themselves. i did one at a time though becasuse i got mods as i got money for them.
