Lightbulb Opinions needed

Currently have a classic with sports downpipe then blitz system and a panel filter.

Other than that it's standard.

Do I spend money on new fuel pump get it mapped new turbo to replace td04 and few more bits like silicone hoses etc.

Or just keep it standard and save the money?


And it's run on 97ron all the time

Thanks

All depends what u want from the car, once u start though u will get the bug, if your after a little more, defrost get a walbro or hrc updated pump, bigger injectors, then either a bigger tmic or go front mount then get it mapped depending on what type of classic u have now will will depend on the power output after mods and mapping

At the moment it's a genuine classic but I keep reading all these threads of more power ect

What would a decent upgrade route cost excluding labour charges.

Cheers

tubular headers not required unless going over 400hp, get a nice set of harveys ported headers if staying under

Uk turbo are I believe about 210 in standard form so with a few extras like front mount ported headers fuel pump injectors I bet you would see a nice 250+ out of it and about 1 bar of boost I think that's nice nothing mental no stress on e internals and quick enough for the td04 as it spools fast u will have a quick accelerating motor

I'm looking at the group buy on the hrc pumps what injectors are a direct fit and what turbo is a improvement lots of questions I know.

And would a Sti top mount enough for 300bhp

Yh just bear in mind of the internals mate, I'm not sure how far a uk can go with out rebuilding the inside, a Wrx will go to about 315/320 safely, but I would say u should go for 280ish with a td05 sit top mount yellow injectors pump and the map it will be a quick car but everyday driver if u have 2 maps on the ecu fitted

So shopping list

hrc pump 255lph or higher?

yellow injectors

sti top mount which version is best?

td05 is that the best next upgrade

ecu remap can you choose between two settings?

silicone hoses
