No point getting cheap parts now that won't cater for a small increase in power in 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will know what we mean. getting a new Oil filter for the turbo line is recommended. getting rid of the old one is the recommended bit actually. whether or not to fit a turbo line filter is another story. Some members have just removed the oil filter all together. others replace it with an earls in line filter, like I have. I replaced my air box filter with a K&N filter. gets cleaned every service. Simple replace filter and off you go. If the car gets tuned, the Tuna will put a whole at the bottom left corner of the air box for more airflow. I know, because my airbox has said whole and car is pushing close to 400kw. Brake upgrades should be done first before any power mods. it is the more sensible approach. You could get Brembo's like everyone else and it will cost a fair bit to get done. I chose the cheaper option of upgrading my brake lines to braided lines. then removed the OEM rotors and replaced them with DBA4000. My first set of brake pads were Bremtec stuff which caused me so much headaches with shudder. Avoid at all costs I then went with Bendix ultimates. good bite, but very dust pads. I then went with the project mu ns400 pads. Been a good pad. not as dusty as the ultimates I have spent way more than 6k to get where I am at the moment. All I got to say is don't skimp out. Good luck with the build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
