Source some low k F6 injectors - you should be able to find a set for around $200. Save some more coin and buy either the venom bolt up for $450 or, buy a 100cpsi and weld in prior to tune (about $350). Finally, save the $1500 for the xcal & tune. All up a bit under 4k but no double-ups and a quality cooler. 300rwkw all day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the cheap quick way to 300 on a cold day. Not a bad stage 1 IMO. But through some temperatures at the stock coolers and they fail quick. But let's face it summers only 2 weeks long.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 26d Posted 23/08/12 09:37 AM Author Share Posted 23/08/12 09:37 AM Again thanks for the input guys.So is that a yes or no on intake muffler replacement? Wouldn't it be better without, hence the turbo side intakes and replacement pipes for that section.I'm going to be telling the tuner that I want safe power. If valve springs come into it or the coolers holding things back then I don't care about the 300 number! I completely agree Ratter.Because I have time on my side I can keep an eye out for a second hand cooler and piping to come up. But only if its cheap enough because my car really won't be put under too many hard runs. If it passes on the dyno then that's the most it'll ever cop!Whats peoples opinions on the dump. Personally I'd rather cooler and piping than dump but they must include it in this package of theirs for a reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
