August 7, 201412 yr #1 Hey guysI currently own a bf mk2.5 turbo sedan with a 6spd zf.Currently it has an xforce catback, hid gt2 cooler and f6 intake. It's currently tuned to 290rwkw.After we'll over 12 months off the road getting Everything else done, interior exterior etc, it's now time to think about a retune...I have got stored awayPlazmaman under battery cai80pound seimens dekkasPw crossover pipe12psi actuator I am planning to get a fuel pump installed when the car gets tuned as the tuner can get them reasonably cheap for a Walbro/ Bosch.What else do people recommend I should do/ buy before I tune? I'm also planning to buy an external trans cooler ASAP and have it installed before the tune.The car is basically a weekender that never gets driven unfortunately, but I'm hoping for something around the 350-400 rwkw mark safely.Any help and advice would be great!Thanks
August 7, 201412 yr #2 Bigger dump/cat, port the turbo/flapper mod, wouldn't be a bad idea to look at strengthening the zf too depending on kms/condition... also surge tank wouldn't hurt
August 7, 201412 yr #3 Not sure if that intercooler would be up to 350+ at the wheels. Might need something larger.
August 10, 201412 yr #4 Author The cooler is rated to something like 800hp.... From what I have read its fine to be used up till around the 450-500rwkw mark. I was thinking of doing the dump pipe as well but I'm just unsure of brands to look into....My tuner said I shouldn't need a surge tank as long as I don't let it run really low and boost it hard, the upgraded pump should be fine.
August 11, 201412 yr #8 Author Heinrich tuned it originally, so I'll. take it back to him. I had a good experience there last time and he charges a fair price for the work.
August 12, 201412 yr #10 Is Heinrich a wog tuner now? By what I have heard and read in the past he is a well known and respected tuner for street and dyno tunes or has something changed?Not jealous are we Jet?
