Hi,

Sounds like you've got most of the base mods covered in terms of breathing mods.

You could turn up the boost to 1 bar and adjust your fuel accordingly, that will see u a nice gain. Or even get a hybrid ct9 turbo

relocate the air intake, new ht leads. Could do some weight saving, strip aircon and the seats?

power doesnt come cheap, ive realised this

[Liam_D]

^^ Thats So true :/

[Steve GT]

^^^ true

id say youve got most of the stage one mods ready i think next if you want a cheaper option than management your best bet is a fuel cut defender (FCD) and rising rate fuel pressure regulator. links below

FCD and RRFPR

Then once thats done id say one of these Adjustable actuator then up the boost for some nice power increases

as above and a tidy manifold unless you already have one you can then run a bar quite safely, just make sure you have your fueling checked by a decent tuner.

oh yeah thats another good mod. i believe LukEp sells ported manifolds matey give that a try

[Si@Fiske]

a good service first then all of the below

Iridium plugs

ht leads

decat

exhaust

ct9 mani

jam FCC

hks actuator

fmic

air filter & relocation

clutch

and personally I'd stick a pump in her as well and you neeeed to get rid of the efi pipe. It's extremely restrictive!

I'd also get an EBC on the go as 1.0 bar off just the actuator isn't that responsive, but this is optional and won't generate any more power just get it coming in sooner

then just get an AFR plot done with it set at 1.0 bar

Without management you'll see a safe 170-180bhp

that's your cheapest option, may I just stress how important a decent manifold is though or you'll wave goodbye to your engine.. but please do brakes and suspention before any power mods

cheers

Thanks for all the comments much appreciated,where would the best place be to purchase these items, eBay?

[Meston]

I'd stay clear of ebay, go with the registered traders on here. There your best bet.
