Next is push boost in harder earlier, or upgrade the turbo and injectors.

El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,036 Member For: 10y 2d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 22/02/17 07:46 PM Share Posted 22/02/17 07:46 PM I just fitted new sway bar links and mount bushes, King springs and KYB shocks to both ends of my BA. I'm really happy with how it drives and that's only entry level upgrades of course (I have a steep driveway and lots of speed bumps in my work car park!) Suspension upgrades are something you can easily enjoy every day.

If not already done, upgrade the ZF transmission oil cooler. A retune?

If not then the tuner may get a little more legroom for a stable, consistent tune.
