Quick question lads, an I dont give a sh!t about sounding like a noob here but despite owning and driving a turbo for almost a year I still dont know shat about getting more power outta it :rolleyes:

Basically i'm gonna be pickin up a bigger turbo soon along with a mani, elbow, downpipe and a fmic. Now I know ill need bigger injectors and a remap before I can run it but is there anything else I'll need? Looking for about 280bhp

Cheers!

Manifold will not make a differance to power.. 280bhp no need for a bigger turbo here i got 281bhp with standard turbo, ecu and injectors maby the ecu was chipped not sure.

I had boost controller at 0.8bar apexi air filter 3" exhaust from mani back (decat hugh differance) and front mount.:p

If you only want that power there is no need to spend a lot.. What turbo were you looking into?

Ye i know a mani only helps if your running big power but it looks pretty sexy, give it a nicer sound and I'll just sell it on if I dont boother keepin it, Dunno what the turbo is Stevo on here got it from Andy (recession busters) and he didnt know what it was either its a bit bigger then the standard one though....

Already got a HKS induction kit and cat back exhaust and getting a decat at the same time as everything else

I know even less about ecu's then I do about turbo's so it'll just be a case of dropping down to tdp and just being like here Robbie, make this work ha


get two more cylinders!

man if you dont want to go down the road of an ecu at the monent get a good air/fuel controller like a apexi safc and get a z32, the safc will allow you to change your hotwire settings to run the z32, after that as above stated with your pump, a good fuel preasure reg, and a tweek you will easily see 280bhp:o

colder plugs, fuel pump, cheap boost controller, fmic, some sort of mapable ecu.. you would be pushing the t25 at that...

then when you have 280bhp... a new clutch cost the standard one wont cope.. new brakes cos you wont be able to stop.... and the list will go on and onand on...:o
