hey guys

am a newbie here.... next week the BA mk2 ute will get full ap exhaust, set of 968s and a custom tune by FIST in brissie...

what should I expect??? cant wait to feel the difference, though I hope it wont be raining on the way home....

(at what sort of power levels do I need to worry about a bigger pump and intercooler???)

typhoon 2nd intake going on tomorrow in preparation...

cant wait...

You should seriously think about an intercooler IMMEDIATELY. Living in Brisbane means the intake is being fed air at fairly high temps to begin with. The standard IC will not be able to cope and thus you will be robbing yourself of both power and consistency.

Check if the pennies can stretch to an IC straight away, as the car will need a retune if its done later.

Alistair and the boys at FIST will be able source on for you at a good price. :laughing:

Dude im still running the standard I/C.I havent had any issues with it.Ive backed up dynoruns with consistent power runs.Even on dyno day at PT performance,I drove all the way there and ran it first up on there dyno and still run a 298rwkw run.

However its up to you but I would expect with your mods and if your valve springs hold,you could push 300rwkw.I have but my springs are now slowly packing it in after 1 year at this level.

hey guys

well the ute has been fisted now, including a bigger bosch pump..... am truly stoked now with 271 rwkw, and economy has improved about a kay per litre on the highway....

big thanks to vonn and ali for sorting me out and getting ute finished off on fri nite, even gave me a loaner car to get back up the coast, u have to be happy with that...

jeez these things are a handful in the wet....

next stop... valve springs, intercooler and wastegate mods.... I need 300 already, damn...its addictive
