is the ported headers a must for the vf28 turbo
so what i need is uprated fuel pump
possibly injectors
tek3 done
and possibly a bigger oil cooler(my thoughts)
any one know how much this lot might set me back

in an easier way to read...
Fuel pump is a must
KnockLink
Uprated tmic or fmic.. You could use an sti item?
Injectors (Depends on Power level wanted)
Stainless Up-Pipe
Port the headers

The gains from a FMIC are additive to WI and vice versa.
A VF28 will be OK on the standard injectors with uprated fuel pump.
Rather than tubular headers, why not just buy a bigger turbo - effect is similar in my experience - ie VF29 with headers very similar in power delivery to VF23 without.

i would say port the headers anyway, there is about 1/4 inch accross the diameter to remove
Depends how far you want to go steve, obviously the tek2 i sold you as got you hooked, but its costly!

thats what the aquamist water injection system is for and its better than the intercoolers
Water injection isnt going to cool your charge temperature down the same as a fmic IMHO.
I thought WI was to reduce in cylinder temperatures thus reducing the chances of det. ??

I fitted a front mount first, then the WI. The difference in timing with WI running was only about 1 to 2 degrees advance on my car (which hated advance anyway) compared to about 4 to 5 with the FMIC!
WI really only helps a little towards more power, but itnhelps a lot more towards reliability IMHO. Where as before the WI I had a relatively noisey Knock Link, after the WI it went silent as my passengers around Donington back at the SIDC national will testify ehh Alan
Still a nice MD304 hybrid from Lateral Performance will do wonders and you can run it with the standard Top Mount for now, upgrading to an FMIC when you want to go that bit further

Here you go...
http://www.lateralperformance.co.uk
Nowt there yet though, it's still being created! But it does have Mark's (R19KET) Aigin's contact details there and he's a very nice chap, will talk you through everything that you could ever need to uprate a scoob to silly power even if he doesn't sell/stock it
