Do yourself a favor and have a good look through the 400+ section. No point getting cheap parts now that won't cater for a small increase in power in 6 months.

go to the main page of the forum, scroll down, keep scrolling till you find the 300+ club, then the 400+ club and so on.

You will know what we mean.

 

getting a new Oil filter for the turbo line is recommended. getting rid of the old one is the recommended bit actually. whether or not to fit a turbo line filter is another story.

Some members have just removed the oil filter all together. others replace it with an earls in line filter, like I have.

 

I replaced my air box filter with a K&N filter. gets cleaned every service. Simple replace filter and off you go.

If the car gets tuned, the Tuna will put a whole at the bottom left corner of the air box for more airflow.

I know, because my airbox has said whole and car is pushing close to 400kw.

 

Brake upgrades should be done first before any power mods. it is the more sensible approach.

You could get Brembo's like everyone else and it will cost a fair bit to get done.

I chose the cheaper option of upgrading my brake lines to braided lines. then removed the OEM rotors and replaced them with DBA4000.

My first set of brake pads were Bremtec stuff which caused me so much headaches with shudder. Avoid at all costs

I then went with Bendix ultimates. good bite, but very dust pads. I then went with the project mu ns400 pads.

Been a good pad. not as dusty as the ultimates

 

I have spent way more than 6k to get where I am at the moment. All I got to say is don't skimp out.

Good luck with the build

Thankyou for the advise???

Can you tell me a bit more about hole in box or even a pic

what size hole would u say?

75-100mm, lower front of the airbox

Go to the 'fuel system and induction' section in the tech part of the forum, then do a search for 'hole in airbox'
