Anyway I ended up deciding on upgrading to a brand new F6 bottom end with stronger rods & oil pump gears, valve springs and some other stuff to the new motor. at the same time I thought might aswell do the wastegate modification and actuator along with a walbro fuel pump and new cooler piping and cooler. the car now is much more smoother to drive and a lot more responsive compared to my BA motor which had 175,000kms on the clock. so here are a list things that I've done to the car hope you guys enjoy it, ill post up some pictures of the car aswell. any comments questions or other welcome.Year:2003 February Build.Engine:F6 Bottom end.Stronger Rods.Atomic Valve Springs.3" Cold Side Piping.4" CAI Intake off Turbo into closed box.600x300x76mm Intercooler.12 PSI Actuator.Ported Wastegate.60lb Siemens Deka Injectors.Walbro Fuel Pump.Capa Flash TunerTransmission:4 Speed Automatic re-built by Preston AutomaticsExhaust:Stock Exhaust with Hiflow cat and centre muffler removed & twin 3" Tips.
