(not yet lol)If can get 300+rwkw for around 5-6k then I'm happyCheers...-Ben Edited 01/01/11 03:02 AM by S3XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 16y 10m Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 01/01/11 04:22 AM Share Posted 01/01/11 04:22 AM Ild go the herrod pipe kit from pitlane for $450. Then a pitlane tune. Micks just done g6ey with similar mods (herrod pipe kit, pwr cooler, dump & cat, injectors and tune) the results are in the pitlane thread. Basically limited by the fg's turbo with those mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 01/01/11 10:10 AM Share Posted 01/01/11 10:10 AM I think what Henz has suggest would be the most cost effective path with the best results. I think sourcing the parts seperately rather than purchasing a kit means you can get exactly what you need rather than something that you don't. This tends to happen with kits. Dump pipe and cat is all you need for exhaust mods and $5k should easily get you over 300rwkw's.Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause that's as far as I can stretch at moment.dont get a 'kit' with a power figure quoted. go to a good tuner (hpf is fine) and talk to them directly. they can let you know what mods will net what power/ drivability (no point in getting a 600rwkw tune when you get turbo lag till 4500rpm). fg turbo's are pretty much at the limit at 350rwkw due to small turbo. very quick off the line though..... Yer I think Ill source all parts first then go to hpf to make it all work at its highest potential.+1 ^just talk to hpf. they know their sh*t.
