When they saw the light mate

Don't waste your time doing the CAI mod it won't gain you anything unless your going over 260kw. Plenty of truth to support this on this forum.

Go the edit and custom tune.

If you want to go further then consider stage 2 kits available, don't go doing home made hacks.

Melbourne based places for edit in no particular order,

Horse power factory, Amberley Autos

Nizpro

Wog tune

CAPA

Ever thought of a turbo?

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all your great feedback. Is there any issues with the EDIT file on a Bog Stock Auto XR6T?? The last thing I want to do is "hand grenade" my everyday drive.

I would love to be able to buy an APS Exhaust system separately but don't think you can?? Unless somebody else has some contacts?? My car has travelled about 70K's, is there any issues with this many K's using this type of Power Up option?

I live in Blackburn and am trying to find a reliable and trustworthy local tuner who can help me.

Once again, thanks for all your help.

Simon go and have a talk to your name sake at Nizpro. There in Bayswater so handy to you.

They know their stuff

You may not even need an Exhaust. Depends on how much power you want or need!

I understand that the APS zorst is available separately for around $1800. Do a search on EBay and see what you can find second hand. Be aware that the sedan and utes systems are different.You may however require an edit with custom tune in order to avoid the dreaded overboost conditiion that may occur if fitting this hi flow system to an otherwise stock car.

You are quite accessible to several good tuners.... APS @ croydon , Nizpro @Bayswater, and HPF at Dandenong ..... good luck

I drove down from Sydney to HPF if that helps

Personally id be going an APS Phase 1 with the Unichip.... wil give you approx 240rwkw, enough for the time being, and all the parts can be taken to your new car. From what I have heard you can only custom tune the edit 5 times, meaning that your 2 down by the time you get your BF, where as a chip is plug and play.

As for the argument that the edit is more stealth, if you want to keep your warranty with a chip, just unplug it....sure your car may run like a dog, but there are effectively no mods. With the Edit you need to re-flash the standard ECU and according to a couple people I have spoken to, including some dealers, the Edit can be detected.

Even though this forum has turned edit only, you will find that there are still a good number of chipped cars that pull some decent times.

Either way, regarless of whether you go edit or chip, both a performance enhancing which is great, and I am sure you will enjoy whichever option you end up with.

Phase I includes injectors which should give around 240rwkw on a conservative tune that would be easy on your trans. Removing the unichip is simple and although the car will run richer with the larger injectors, it will idle normally and drive normally otherwise.

You can get the unichip alone, which will get around the 220rwkw mark which can be removed and leave the car totally stock. Both of these options will be custom tuned for your car ensuring the best possible performance.

That's incorrect. You can custom tune the edit as many times as you like.

If you buy the unichip you WILL need a custom tune which means its going to cost more than an edit straight up.

With the edit you can drive around on the generic tunes (yes tunes not tune I.e. unichip) and when you're ready go and get a custom tune.

If you go the unichip you'll also want to increase the line pressure through your auto with an addition of a shiftkit which is more $$ whereas this is all configured through the edit.
