Power Gains

[MacVibe]

Hey guys,

I know there are heaps of threads on mods and performance gains, however if I was to get a full exhaust, new intercooler and air filter (either BMC or K&N) on a stock auto XR6T, could I expect gains of 15%?

Thanks

Easier than that. Go and spend $1500 on a custom tuned Edit and you'll gain 25%.

Cooler and exhaust can come later.

In fact, if you dont do Edit first, all you will get is overboost and your car will run like

yeh mate go for it, these mods are good stepping stones. 15% I dont know but 15 kw yes.

save your pennies, buy the following parts first:

- injectors

- flash tuner

- intercooler

- valve springs

- fuel pump

then get a custom tune with all these parts fitted at the same time. you'll be able to run 12psi and push out around 260 - 300rwkw depending on if your car's an auto/manual etc.

then save for a proper full exhaust system, turbo modification (wastegate/actuator), surge tank and a re-tune. Then you'll be looking at 300-350rwkw.

don't do it any other way.

yep injectors, stge 1 intercooler, and after market cat and maybe fuel pump , = near 50% GAIN
