Cjafpv Member 110 Member For: 10y 5m 2d Posted 25/01/15 01:28 PM Share Posted 25/01/15 01:28 PM Hey guys my f6 is currently sitting at 315rwkw with just a dump pipe cat and tune Have been quoted slightly over 11k for the following* PW stage 2 cooler kit* battery relo and turbo side intake*finish of the exhaust with stainless catback* 1000cc injectors kpm* kpm twin 300 bolt In fuel system* wastegate porting 12psi actuator * zf trans service with syntrans oil* valve springs and retainers* cold thermostat* turbo smart Bov* custom tuneNow I think the quote is quite a fair price for what is going to be done and I'm assuming the car will make close to the 380rwkw mark my question is guys this is a lot of money for me 11k I can afford it thts not the issue the issue is I know the car will feel different but will it be 11k better if you know what I mean . I know it may sound silly but I'm just scared I'mGonna drop 11k and then not be so impressed with the result. I guess what I'm asking is Guys has anyone had similar power to what I currently have then gone up to what I'm looking at getting done and would anyone care to comment? thanks for the input guys. I guess this question sort of also stems fromThe fact that a few people have sort of hinted to me that my car won't be much faster due to traction issues etc but part of my motivation for the mods is the sound and aggressive note and really the cooler has to be done as power really sucks on a hot day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save a few dollars there over pw stuff. Surge is cheaper the the kpm drop in to. Xforce stainless cat back is cheap.Also what shop is doing the mods and tuning? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can probably factor in a box if zf if your going to start pushing 400 Edited 25/01/15 10:37 PM by barnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping 11k on mods you need a good Tuner and you owe it to yourself to avoid any heartbreak.Good luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos310 Donating Members 228 Member For: 12y 3m 28d Gender: Male Posted 26/01/15 10:01 AM Share Posted 26/01/15 10:01 AM If it was me, I'd do the things in Blue.plus look for someone flicking a PW surge tank, you can get them reasonably priced second hand. A single pump unit will be ok if you dont want to go crazy.The stock intake, with a muffler delete will make good power and retain a stock look. leave the stock BOV, its money you dont need to spend. Dont do the airbox or battery relo, again, money you dont need to spend. just bore a 100mm hole in the lower half front of your stock air box. also look for someone reverting their build to stock or upgrading for cheaper parts if you're watching a budget, if you know what you are looking at/for damage wise, abused etc.My f6 (manual) went 387kw with turbo gate, injectors, exh, stage 2 PW cooler, 12lb actuator and a small 400 walbro equipped surge tank (no HP from surge, just cheap insurance) BUT like the others say, it all comes down to your tuner.My .02cHey guys my f6 is currently sitting at 315rwkw with just a dump pipe cat and tuneHave been quoted slightly over 11k for the following* PW stage 2 cooler kit* battery relo and turbo side intake*finish of the exhaust with stainless catback* 1000cc injectors kpm* kpm twin 300 bolt In fuel system <----------------* wastegate porting 12psi actuator* zf trans service with syntrans oil* valve springs and retainers* cold thermostat* turbo smart Bov* custom tuneNow I think the quote is quite a fair price for what is going to be done and I'm assuming the car will make close to the 380rwkw mark my question is guys this is a lot of money for me 11k I can afford it thts not the issue the issue is I know the car will feel different but will it be 11k better if you know what I mean .

Just sayingWhat makes you say it was done on the cheap? I thought at the time 310rwkw-320rwkw which is what tuner said car would make would be enough power and didn't want anymore but as usual I've gotten use to it and want more. At the time tuner was honest and said thts all I need for low 300's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
