hi guys,newbie ere,just bought a 95 uk 2000 with full decat h&s backbox,3 inch gas flowed downpipe. no engine mods but its a high miler 145k with rebuild done and new turbo.
just after some advise on mods to do to increase power/boost?? not looking for major 300+ shes running 264 now according to rolling road printout!!
moneys kind of tight tho at mo. also any standard mods i can do diy style to help the car,ie bonnet scoop mods things like that that you lot have done.
any help will be much appreciated.

 

I hear the intercooler water spray is a good one. Search the forums ive seen Quite a few DIY jobs posted. At the cheapest it can be done with a washer bottle and pump from a scrap car. If you have an induction kit fitted there may be room to fit it where the Air box used to be. I wouldnt cover the hole in the wing though a good deal of air comes up that scoop. Then at cheapest you could put a momentary push to make switch on the dash and wire it all up so as long as you hold the switch you spray water onto the intercooler. others have done auto mods with boost and timer controls. Like i said search the forums. can cost as little as 20 quid i guess.

 

nice one cheers mate,wash thinking of re directing me headlight washers lol

 

Yea thats been done before!

 

Porting the headers yourself is free do a search there are threads showing you what to do makes a difference

you wont get 300+ by turning up the boost mate you need a new turbo e.g tdo5 mate

 

ideal cheers boys
