PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI!

There's no such thing as a MkI. Edited 25/03/09 11:28 AM by PHANTMXR6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tune is between $700 and $800 Roughly and the box $500? Sound about right guys?)Valve Springs - ~$800-$900That's close to $2700 max.... You may not need Springs yet as these mods will only give about 240rwkw (Give or take 10rwkw) as the injectors are the limiting factor...Also as the guys have said I'd be careful with a cheap T mate. If you can find a good one, go for it, but a crap one will be a money pit mate... It could cost you a fortune...Lastly, you mentioned you were chasing up to 260rwkw and you thought the box would be fine. Well....Some 4 speeds die stock mate, so power is not their speciality I'm afraid. You shouldn't have a lot to worry about with 240rwkw if you have a good tuner. They are all different. some will hold 300rwkw for ever, and some will die at 180rwkw...My car runs 240rwkw and the improvement over stock is absolutley unbelievable!All the best with the car mate,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
