so i was thinking for new mods such as
1.intake grate
2.hydro-turf mats with foot holds
3.impeller
4.cone
the problem is that i don't know what size that i have to install for the impeller and what intake grate shoulde i use so please coulde u help me with my mod's + if i want to install a new ride plate what is your advice for me

am not much into racing freestyle is what i want + freeride

The WORX intake grate is always a good choice but there are others.
Footholds and turf would be my first step as well as fixing the steering on that 09. A pipe would be my next step.

Don't bother with AM rideplates, just cut down the stocker to what ever length works for you. Leave the stock prop for now as well. Apparently it ain't all that bad.

If you do decide to get a prop. Talk to Dave at Impros. He is the expert. I'm guessing he will tell you to go with his hooker 9-15 prop.
As Boris said the worx grate is the one of choice. Others will work well too though.

I would send Tom21 here on the boards a message. He makes some nice footholds. Otherwise, the Watercraft factory holds were recently on sale and are really good as well.
You will find lots of threads on here about turfing so use the search feature. Take your time and be patient!

don't worry about the impeller, you won't see much of an improvement since the 08+ props are very similar to hookers

thank you all for your sugustions
but i was wondering why not to install the impeller becouse many had installed them and notice a big difference ? and if i did what to choose between sizes + which manufacturer (solas,hooker....etc) ?

You have a very desirable impeller. Many people are buying your stock impeller and using it on modified ski's and loving it. I've had one side by side with a 9/15 hooker, and couldn't tell the difference. That said, I still run the hooker, but that's only because I had already paid a good amount for it and had my mind set. The pre 08 SJ's needed the impeller modification, yours really doesn't for now. Spend your money elsewhere!

The 08-up SJ prop works well. I had it in my SJ for a while and couldn't tell the difference between that and my 12/17 big hub skat.

The 08 prop is in my blaster now though and works well in that ski also.

Swap the steering cable with a pre 08 and modify the nozzle! I noticed a huge difference in nozzle throw after I did this!
