Specially with injectors.Intercooler kit is probably the only thing you can save money on by fitting it yourselfAs for valve springs and getting the wastage ported with a bigger flapper and actuator get Rob to do it. Most tuners really only like the rear housing done their way as they know its gonna be quality wise so they can control boost etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dloughland New Member 9 Member For: 10y 11m 20d Posted 13/12/13 01:15 AM Author Share Posted 13/12/13 01:15 AM Unfortunately all parts have been paid for and already on their way. I didn't actually get a per part quote from the guys at Monsta Torque, I just looked at the stage II package and sort of worked out it may be cheaper to source all the parts separately elsewhere, plus I wanted to add the air box and pump.Will speak with the Rob or Darren in the new year to get quotes for the turbo mods and tune. Possibly might have to include labour for all my parts as by the sounds of it I can't install any of them safely without the tune.Thanks for all the replies though, has been somewhat helpful.

10SECN Member 516 Member For: 11y 7m Gender: Male Location: west hoxton Posted 13/12/13 01:18 AM Share Posted 13/12/13 01:18 AM does not matter who is tuning it, if the wastegate is being commanded to be fully open and the boost exceeds what is desired then the port needs to be done.so what is the standard spring on an fg? and when tuning u can only double that ? true or false? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed most of my parts to cut costs and ended up costing me more in the long run.Anything fuel related get them to do it. Exhaust installation is no more expensive there than any other exhaust shop, and valve springs are pretty much impossible to do without the 500$ tool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any issues with the install, they have to fix it.I know you have already ordered the parts and it is too late, but you would be better off getting them to fit it for you. If something goes wrong, they can sort it out.Recently got my car done at MT and I cant be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
