If you wanted to upgrade I wouldn't bother with genuine items.Try crow, Nizpro or atomic ones. Much better value for money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using stock BFII valve springs in mine (low 300s rwkw) and have 165xxx km on it, but it has a bad idle sometimes after I boot it. Not consistently though so must depend on heat or something.Have a set of Nizpro ready to go in, when it gets more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
601Turbz Member 111 Member For: 14y 6m 2d Gender: Male Posted 27/06/12 08:18 AM Author Share Posted 27/06/12 08:18 AM Thanks for the responses guys. I'm not looking to chase any more than 330rwkw. My BFMK11 has only just ticked over 40,000km and has the usual mods. 3.5' dump, cat exhaust, injectors, cold air. Just waiting for fuel pump and injectors before retune (only has generic at the moment)But I am unsure whether to get 8psi or 10psi actuator. Is the Walbro GSS340 pump enough? Flows 255LPH.
