Conversion xr6t Member 61 Member For: 6y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 30/10/19 03:45 PM Share Posted 30/10/19 03:45 PM Sweet I can live with 300 well I service my engine every 6k and only burnouts I do is if it rains and I’ll just lightly tap her without even boost half the time so she is very well looked after . So then besides valves springs and actuator what is a good idea I am moving close to the airport wich is my closest e85 pump so that will be my next mod if I got e85 would that be more effective and reliable than more boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFII onwards are a much better starting base. Make sure your tuner knows the limitations of a BA turbo engine and don't excced them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
