Default Keeping the Scoob

Right I have decided to keep the scoob.
I was looking at an EVO 9 but just cant see what the attraction is. I now want to start upping the power of mine. Its a Twin scroll with 355bhp. I am after suggestion as to what would be the best way to go. Im no mechanic so would be gratefull for any suggestions. Obviously it will be going to a garage so recomendations would also be gratefull.

Many Thanks

Speak to Zak @ Mocom racing mate, He has has a shedload of knoledge on tuning the twinscrolls and will tell you exactly what you need for the target you have set yourself.

Zaks own car is a V8 JDM!!

What sort of power are you looking for?
What useage does the car get? Road, Track?
What sort of cash do you wanna spend?

Im looking for over 400. And the car gets used once or twice a week on the road, not been on the track yet. As i was going to have spend probably 10+ grand on top of mine to get an EVO 9 then the money side is not realy an issue. The previous owner took it to MOCOM, so he does know the car. I will give him a ring tomorrow. Thanks.

Over 400bhp is a relitively easy target.

If you have 10k to spend. Id go for a big 2.5 build with supporting mods.

Th reason im keeping mine is because I realy wanted that scoob with 500bhp, but it looks as though its sold and my money has not come through yet. So im going to have some fun with mine. . It in for a full service next week , sorting out a flamer kit with Mark , then i nedd to get a few scratches taken out , then the fun begins .
