Mersin, you are getting way ahead of yourself here. The advice above is all pretty good but it does come down to bux and just how fast you want to go. Think about this. At 320rwkw in a BF, Stever above has run a sub 12 and 190+ at the drags. He ran that in Race Wars in WA....... 222 Kmhr in 800M and that means speed limiter in under one kilometre. To put that into perspective: BMW M5, AMG C63, Turbo Porsche, BMW M3, Dodge Viper............ All Toast.

The Turbo Ford is about controlled boost, fuel delivery, cool intake charge and enough exhaust system to match power requirements without cabin boom/drone.

At 170K's. Fuel Pump and Valve Springs have gotta go. They are aged components and consummables given where you want to go power wise.. Best possible intercooler / injectors and plenty of quality choices there along with enough information on the forum about fit and results to assist us all. Stock exhaust will just about do it. Dump/cat........... do that. But the tuner.......... talk to him first.

I'm new to modding here so basically trying to gather as much information as possible, as when I mod my car I want to do everything right at once and not light years apart. I'm trying to achieve something around the 350 rwkw mark and want it safely (without parts letting out or mechanical failures), I apologise for coming across as a newbie but its cos I am, and I am genuinely trying to do whats best for my car lol.

Good attitude, just keep asking questions and reading the many threads and you should get there. Every modding journey is different in small ways despite the common advice that is applicable. Maybe you'll buy your intercooler new, maybe used, maybe your springs are good for your power level, maybe not. Some things your tuner will be best to advise you on. At 170k kms I'd get springs done though! Mine were probably due when it got tuned at 100k but I persisted with rough idle after WOT up until just before 200 thou...not wise really but I'm a budget guy and maybe got lucky and had a good tuner.

If you enjoy high prices and a good rep go nizpro

Isn't there another tuner down in Melbourne that's quiet popular?

Around the Frankston area?
