Need More Torque Help Please
#1
I have a Scooby P1 and am looking to increase the torque but dont know what to do next. I have about £5000 to spend. It currently has
Blitz front mounted intercooler
Blitz Turbo Timer
Blitz Boost Controller and Gauge
Blitz Nur Spec exhaust and hi flow cat
Blitz blow off valve
Oil Cooler
Blitz Air Filter
as u can see no serious mods so what can i do to gain more torque?
Also looking to put 6 pot calipers on the front and 4 pot on the back AP racing do the 6 pot for the front but have seen no upgrades for the rears.
Plus am changing clutch would like to stick with AP as they have always been reliable. Should i go for carbon clutch or cerametallic. I want a good clutch that is fairly durable but most important is the best for highly tuned car. Carbon Triple Plate clutch £2000 plus is it worth it?
thanks for your help.

Bigger turbo - consider a TD05 or Garrett based hybrid
Exhaust manifold/uppipe - Gruppe S are good value
Water injection - see Scoobyshop
Fuel Pump - ditto
Fuel pressure regulator - ditto
Larger injectors - see the fuel injectors thread by Pavlo (search)
ECU - many options
Gauges - knocklink, boost gauge, oil temp/pres for starters

Cheers for your help. Where should i get that kind of work done as it is no small job and i want it done professionally even if it will cost a bit more. I live in Dorset but work up near Birmingham.
Plus anyone any ideas on clutch. Will the front 4 pots fit on the back. if so why do AP only specify front brakes?
Also in adding that kind of power what will i need to uprate on the engine to stop me killing it. i.e. like forged pistons etc.
