Maintaining them properly, especially once modified, isn't much fun on the wallet! Flashy 6 speed autos from Germany don't help hehehe I did get to 120mph 11's on $5k power mods though including XCAL3, tune and fitting cost, not bad value if you ask me Was planning on less but I let it get away from me a little with the full zorst and not fitting parts myself.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 07/10/10 10:45 AM Share Posted 07/10/10 10:45 AM Scottay all I can suggest is just do what many on here have done before you. Do your research, slowly gather the parts and knowledge you need boost the power up a bit then repeat the process for the next stage at a later date.More about the journey then the end result IMO.

scottay Member 366 Member For: 14y 8m 18d Posted 07/10/10 01:49 PM Author Share Posted 07/10/10 01:49 PM Yeah exactly Hence going the tune without the cooler to begin with. Then save my coin and get the cooler and wastegate port done next before summer and retune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
