why bother with a 6 speed? id rather have a bit more power? the 5 speed wont break if you dont wreck the thing.

but with the blouch billet turbo and headers and winding the boost up to 1.5/6 bar with the denso injectors, be better than denso injectors and 1.5 bar boost on vf 34

You are no where near making the most of your current turbo.....

Please go and speak to Sean!

No worries Rossco, I hear what you are saying bud

To the OP. I would get some injectors put in on use Rosscos DIY mod on thr topfeed cut tops. Boost up the 34 to 1.6 bar and I would be supprised if you don't get 270+ HP.

270 HPATH is a decent amount of power for a street car, don't forget that

Teejay is basically saying, you upgrade one thing, & the weakest link moves somewhere else.

yeah i no they arent that strong but they will be fine if u dont launch it and so on.
i did speak to sean, he said they were trying a new turbo from the uk, he said bolt that on and with a tune you would be over very close to 300hp or jst over . only thing is that turbo is 3 grand on its own

My 440's are at 80% duty on 1.6 bar on my daily tune...Yes, I ran up to 90% DC on 1.7 bar on the dyno.

Interesting to know that a well known shop had it tuned to 11.4 AFR. Thanks for the heads up, Its now overfuelling pretty bad, since the last tune, need to get it leaned out a little.

There are other turbo options that will give you similar results.

I agree with Rossco though, see what the deal is with your existing tune before you throw any money at it.

The Tomei arms thing?

Wouldnt bother.

And you are completely wrong about the boxes.

Launches rarely kill boxes, its the hard shifts between 2-3 that kill them. More power = more stress.

If I was you, I would go get some injectors, maybe some headers, go get it retuned with some boost in it.

Spending money on mods for the sake of it is stupid.

The HKS cost me close to the UK based turbo you just spoke about. If you want me to take you for a drive in my car to see how the extra 80+ hp feels I am happy to do so before you spend any money.

ah k teejay, ill take ur advisee.
so the blouch billet turbo is a no go then? wont make much difference?
