Hey guys. I've been lurking in and out of this forum for a few months now, sussing what I wanna do to my April '07 built BF II turbs with a manual and luxury pack. I'm still in the process of shopping around, seeing whats good and whats not, and it looks like I'm going to do it alot more before I decide on what I'm going to get and do. But first, a little intro... I bought her back in November '09 at 66,000km and racked them up to 101,000kms. I haven't really been interested in doing anything to it until a big tax return and a few big bonuses from work popped up. Now here I am. :D PICS! (These are from when I first bought the car.) Loving this grille. Its staying when I throw in a new cooler. And a few pics from last January with the 20" shoes she has now. Damn it was hard getting these things. Apparently there were only 5 sets of these in Oz at the time and I had to pay out the arse for freighting them up from Melbourne before someone else snatches them up. - And before anyone says it, I know she needs to drop at least an inch to really look good. Dead stock with a 10 psi generic SCT tune... for now. I've got a few parts laying around waiting to go in: Walbro GSS340, Siemens Deka 60s, triple gauge pod, Autometer cobalts, mechanical boost, electric oil press and a wideband AFR, and a Malwood Option 3+. Been looking around for more parts to buy and so far I'm convinced to get: CES full stainless turbo back exhaust and a Rapid v4.5 cooler kit. I know its all at the high end of the scale, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and all for reliability, so I'm willing to pay more in high quality parts to end up with a nice safe tune that will last. Let's say I'm looking for around 400rwkw for now. Any thoughts or comments? Am I over or underdoing it with the parts I'm looking at? Anything else I should consider? Anything I'll be limited by in terms of internals? Fire away!
