I dont really want to put a limit on $$ because once I start I will always be looking at doing something just a little more. I never even thought of injectors :s but in saying that I dont want to put upgrades on now that arent serving much purpose until its pulling more power...what sort of injectors would you recommend? im guessing there isnt much point changing the intercooler or anything like that straight up? or changing to one of those underneath the battery pod filter setups? thanks good to be here! its hard to find good help!

Then save for your mods and do them all at once. Who is going to tune your car. There is a lot of good tuners in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( thank you tax back) and as I still have my tuner from the xr8 I only have to pay for the bullets or whatever you call them.I got all my work on my xr8 done at bpt motorsports. he seems to know his stuff and makes all the custom tunes himself.I was thinking about one of those induction kits where you put the pod in under the battery and a different intercooler so the piping doesnt go over the top of the rocker cover.. if that makes sense? I was looking on the plazmaman website and the "XR6 Turbo Street Pro Spec 1 intercooler kit"is about $1600ive got no idea if these even fit the typhoon or not.that might not even be the best way to go? should I throw cash at an exhaust and injectors or something like that?
