chad_22 Member 44 Member For: 18y 7m 8d Posted 20/04/11 02:48 AM Share Posted 20/04/11 02:48 AM Hey guys, this has probably been asked a hundred times and I've tried searching through the forums but cant get exact answers.I've got a 2003 ba xr6 turbo stock at the moment. Had it on the dyno and it's putting out 180rwkw stock. I'm looking to try get a bit more power out of it but am on a bit of a budget cause I want to have some left over for a nice set of wheels.If I were looking to get to around 250-260rwkw what would the best options be?I was thinking maybe of a custome tune, injectors and a k&n air filter. Do you think this would get me to that kind of power and how much should I expect to pay for each of those items? I'm guessing around $1400 for the tune and $700 for injectors??If I were to look at adding a high flow cat or replacing the exhaust cat back how much extra power would that get me and also what should I be paying? Would I then need to be upgrading other things?Any help is appreciated, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about a cat back system. That should get you there easily enough. Cat would cost about $300-$350 all up. Ive got the same mods pushing 304rwkw but I have a F6 which has a bigger cooler and better valve springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some site sponsers sell them, about 100 to fit.180 is a touch on the low side, so it might be a tough dyno or your cars low on power alreasdy.If your valve springs hold up 260-270 should be possible with those mods. A Cat will give big gains and free up the Vsprings a little too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
