Lightened flywheel won't get you more power but makes a difference down low.

IMO its a great upgrade.

Fly wheel was on my list of things to do but wasn't to high up on my priorities.

What's wrong with more power? Just because I want some more doesn't mean that I'm going to be doing 170 everywhere. Just want to make it a bit faster from 0-120 then I'll be stoked. Plus with a bit more top end give if I ever feel like a run down the strip.

Its running 18psi at the moment but going to have to wind it down until I get my 3inch exhaust back (got damagedso running a 2 1/4" for now)

3" all the way, check what size injectors you have, upgrade your top mount intercooler, check fuel pump is Walbro then go for 20psi/ retune.

With what you have already, bigger fuel pump and EL headers / uppipe (or unequals if you wanna to keep the dak dak love). Get them ceramic coated if funds permit (~$350 + GST off the top of my head @ CIC Welshpool).

Then retune and enjoy.

Well I'm expecting about 5k back from tax which majority is going on mods and some cosmetic touch ups.
I'd much prefer the front mount to stay Alpha, yeah tiny bit more lag but can be rectified with good tune.

Definitely unequals love that dak dak Huggy
Was trying to do some research on headers last night and couldn't really find anything helpful so if anyone knows some shit about them ie brands, rough price, what to look for that'd be appreciated.

There are a lot of companies doing headers now, have a look at ProSpeedRacing, Ultrex or Kando Dynamics (eBay). I went with Kando and they're great.

I dare say investing in some cams, some headwork, headers and a retune will bring the car alive.
