adams355 Member 529 Member For: 7y 8m 28d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 28/10/17 03:53 AM Share Posted 28/10/17 03:53 AM (edited) I have an BF mk2 turbo with 250rwkw atm is it worth chasing the extra 50? Engine has just over 200 000 and the auto is slightly worn. I drive about 400kms a week but I will need it to last for awhile. Fuel economy is still reasonable. Is it worth it? EDIT: lol I just did a search there is a couple of threads on it, pretty old though see what you guys think now.

Modifying cars is never worth it financially. If you want the extra power then do it but at the end of the day it's money you'll never get back. In saying that I'd do it cos POWWAAAAHHHHHH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reach 300ish rwkw u will need a set of injectors, new cooler, waste gate upgrade, exhaust, flapper mod, valve springs. U wont get change out of 6k. Though u will also get more then 300rwkw...... u can have a daily tune at 300rwkw or less if u want, and a higher tune for those fun times.

If 320kw is the goal then get mods that will suit 400kw so that your not pushing things to close to the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its has a new convertor. 18 hours ago, Puffwagon said: There we go, fixed Yea, has the injectors done lol. Has a cooler, tune, injectors, K&N filter and 9 pound of boost from Autotech. Only needs cat, fuel pump, tune and 12 pound actuator for 300 I've been told. It's in QLD now though. Trying to keep it as stock as possible I.e. no 4 inch exhausts etc. Its the 07 model.
