If it's custom at the bare minimum the owner should have dyno sheets for you, if it isn't, get a custom tune done before something breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the dump and restrictive cat but even that's good for 400+rwhp. IMO, spend your money on a decent tune, upgraded cooler and pipe kit. If you don't want to chop your car up, fit the new PWR stepped version - it's a direct fit. Tune, cooler upgrade, and XR8 airbox will net you around 270 - 290rwkw and do it all day. Injectors + turbo back zorst (and maybe fuel pump) and you'll land 300+. It just comes down to coin mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
