TheOne Member 80 Member For: 14y 9m 18d Gender: Male Posted 20/12/12 08:57 PM Posted 20/12/12 08:57 PM Same thing here mate when I bought mine 4 yrs back only had the cash to get a BA 4 spd straight after my first round of mods (valve springs, port and flapper,4 dump, hi flow cat, intake, injectors, edit) made 304 rwkw within a month started passing boost thru the pistons and was killing 4 spds left right and centre took 6 builds to get one right an then the ba block started to pressurise the head welch's gave way lucky I was right place right time and picked up a BF turbo 2007 long motor with 40,000 for a good price so keep that in mind if you want to do a few mods get abit of power it's easier to get a BF then pump the money you have to into the BA's to get them up them up thereDon't get the wrong idea the BA's are a good car but they don't like to be boosted so enjoy it for what it is it will still get up on the Expensive Daewoo 8's thru the mid save your money for the next upgrade good luck budWho tuned your car ?
NickBA-XR6T Legacy Donating Member 386 Member For: 14y 6m 26d Posted 21/12/12 12:01 AM Posted 21/12/12 12:01 AM I have the 5 speed BA. Nothing wrong with it IMHO, mine drives very nicely. At 110km/h on the freeway you should be doing about 2100rpm in 5th. The auto is about 1800rpm.You can get the BA up to about 250rwkw with the T5 and valve springs before you need to panic. I am sure others have gone further and had no issues either. Depends on your luck.

But yes they could probably be more helpful at times :newrussian:
