hi im new to this site and just got myself my first scoob,its a 2000 on a 'w',its totally std apart from a boost gauge,just wondering what the best first mods are,im lacking experience and would just like some advice,do i get a boost valve?front mounted intercooler?any suggestions are appreciated,thankyou,paul.

 

Welcome bud,

Best intial mod is a Whiteline anti-roll bar & steel droplinks from Demon Tweeks.

Performance-wise, sportscat downpipe and decat centre pipe followed by Ecutek3 remap. Should get you around 280bhp.

You might want to do something about the brakes then too.....

how much for the remap,downpipe and decat?is getting a boost valve a bad idea or is it ok after a few mods...

 

Remap £585 for official Ecutek or £300 for an unlicenced mapper.

Scoobyworld/API sportscat downpipe £300 (or Prodrive one second hand for less).
Centrepipe £100 or so.

Dunno re the boost valve, but this is Scoobynet - somebody will !

Andy

 

thanks alot fella,im new to this and new to turboed cars,stupid question but...is there anything inside an intercooler...water or nothing?and could i change it either a new 1 in the same posistion or fron mounted?thanks.

 

I just fitted a 2004 Sti intercooler to my 2001 bug WRX and noticed an immediate improvement.

So, worth doing, and safer for your car if you're doing more mods. You'd need to do some modifications to fit one to a classic though - there are threads on how to do it on here.

And yes, it's got air in it !

 

boost valve is a bad idea, yes it will give you a faster car, but more than likely it will go bang (det) before long as not enough fuel going into the engine, just get a remap

 

See, there's always somebody that knows the techie stiff on Scoobynet !
