wa g6et Member 657 Member For: 13y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: Perth NOR Posted 17/10/12 02:08 PM Share Posted 17/10/12 02:08 PM I agree with the comments above.The single spinner will be fine, if you like playing around corners then a LSD is nice to have.Like said above the standard airbox is fine on the stock turbo.All said the G6ET is a lovely car to drive and a great place to be. As quick as the XR without all the attention.Welcome to the club.

stevanford Member 268 Member For: 13y 2m 22d Posted 17/10/12 07:44 PM Share Posted 17/10/12 07:44 PM (edited) A year ago I was in the same boat as you mate. This is what I did in my "stage 1"Harrop Trutrac LSDSuperpro comfort bushesPlazmaman turbo side intake + battery relocationPlazmaman surge tank + 044 fuel pumpPlazmaman 800hp Intercooler4 inch dump pipe + catWastegate port + flapper modBosch EV14 1000cc injectorsXcal3 tuneThis combo made 320 rwkw. I could've got to 320 rwkw spending less initially but I knew I was going to upgrade the turbo eventually which is why my initial outlay was a lot more expensive than most. I'm now going to a bigger turbo (GTX3582R) and I'll only need (engine wise) valvesprings, an intank fuel pump and to do the catback to make near 400rwkw.
