So not overall power increase as much as more punch midrange. EBC will be perfect to tune the boost curve slightly.

It goes to 7500rpm - am yet to go that far. It will help smooth the curve, bring it on a little earlier and I am going to stick another 2/3 psi into it.

So in less than 3 hours from that post, it is going in for headers
Reckon it might just give me the down low I want.

Whoops.

Proper update -

So while waiting for my wheels and coilovers to turn up, kinda got bored.

Got offered these at a stupid price

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15/5rho.jpg/

Fitted to a car yesterday, dude could not stand the loss of the dak dak sound. Massive thanks to the crew at empire performance for the hook up there

https://www.facebook.com/EmpirePerformance?fref=ts

Quick visit to Steve @ Autopro Innaloo and they became these...



Included in the price was fitting.

In hindsight, very glad I did this.

Car on hoist, evident that it had typical EJ cam seal leaks. Bit more prodding showed the timing belt was not far from snapping due to the oil breaking the material down. No biggie, no issue there, its a common thing and hard to spot. So the bill will be substantially higher than I expected, but it could of been much much worse.

So the car couldn't go back together today. Thankfully, a bit of de ja vu to get me around tonight while the forri is in bits....



However, I now suddenly want brembos.... never ends
