The Converted Donating Members 344 Member For: 13y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 25/01/13 07:54 AM Share Posted 25/01/13 07:54 AM Ok guys, need opinions. I currently have an 05 ba mk2 with 330rwkw. Gtx3582r, process west 4" intake, rapid cooler/piping, plazmaman plenum, soft nizpro valve springs, 4" xforce exhaust, process west anti surge tank with dual pumps (only using one) and redrilled injectors. Should I pull the motor out and rebuild it for more power?or return it to stock, sell it and buy a used fg, transfer all usable parts over and aim for 400+kw?If I rebuild the motor, it will get forged pistons and only see another year of daily use then be retired for weekend duties. How long will an fg motor hold up at 400+ rwkw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driveline on the other hand, definitely needs to be redone above 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would most likely end up spending more cash on the fg. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
