Also on the turbo lasting thing.

How long is a piece of string?

They've been known to go well and truly 250k plus

Your mate seems very vague in his advice so I would suggest that you do some thorough research yourself so that you can decide what will work best for you.

If your on a tight budget then here would be my list of mods:

- intercooler. Nizpro, Plazmaman 800hp-1000hp or PW stg 2 will do.

- high flow cat with standard exhaust.

- Siemens 60lb injectors. Ideally ID1000's though

- Larger fuel pump is a must.

That should net you in the region of 300rwkw keeping you and your ZF happy for a while.

Hop under your car and physically check the diff bush for cracks and tears.

Also check to see if it has an aftermarket oil feed line to the turbo as the factory line has a filter near the block that clogs up. It has most likely been sorted on a car with your milage though unless its on its third turbo by now...

Maybe making it a PDF that was named roughly like a real manual was a bad idea and got his hopes up, I dunno. Was just having a laugh at everyone's expense that owns these cars. Myself included!

I have an after market bush with a tear in it right now which I'm not bothering to replace due to low ROI. Annoys me though.

He actually wasn't vague it was just me not completely understanding what he was saying lol due to be excited over my new car. Basically he said exactly what you wrote except he mentioned that a turbo back exhaust would be better then a cat back.

Correct me if I'm wrong in names lol, but is this a good idea?

Relocate the battery on the right side, remove the air filter and crossover

Connect a cold air intake pipe to the turbo and attach a pod filter at then end and place it where the "battery used to be" (for cold air purposes)

Finally connect a pipe to the intercooler (not sure what its called I'm gonna call it 'pipe'

All up 350 max, good idea or not?
