Impellor Member 835 Member For: 13y 9m Gender: Not Telling Posted 28/04/13 11:23 PM Share Posted 28/04/13 11:23 PM Welcome mate !!!. But my advice is to do some reading. Education is the key. External wastegates are illegal and in most cases unnecessary. I also think that upgrading should be a gradual process. It allows you to become familar with the car, and your own limitations. Personally I would look to 1000cc injectors (as you progress through power levels, you will find that they will be capable for most of your future power expectations, and E85 if desired)Next get a good cooler and piping, something that will support 700-800 hp or beyond. You will require a good fuel system, but at the very lest I would look to a 400lph intank pump, and a surge tank and external pump later if needed.A 3 inch exhaust will not flow as much as the factory system, but a 3 1/2 inch will provide an easy 700rwhp. Finally find a respected and honest tuner, this is without doubt the most importnt part of the entire process. The BFII Typhoons are are great car as a starting point, so nice choice there.

I love the sound of external gates and I heard they are better for more power as eventually in the long run I do want to be running quite abit of power.

Or you can pay someone to weld your internal gate shut and drill a hole in the rear housing and weld up an external gate. And you said you like the sound of it I'm assuming you like the sound of a screamer which is what impellor said its illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my car to bluepower in campbellfield im from melb, they do a good job there and are willing to do it all just low on the $$ atm so thought id save myself the labour.. so basically all they will do is bore out the internal wastegate, install 12 pound actuator and install a bigger flapper??
