aha, thats alright then as thats pretty much what I`m doing at the moment.

My spec will be:
Walbro 255 Fuel pump
Scoobyworld exhaust consisting of:
-afterburner vortex downpipe
-ninja mid section with very small silencer box
-afterburner vortex backbox
Autobahn88 FMIC
Fuel Pressure Regulator
vf43 turbo
Simtek ECU with antilag and launch control
Induction kit.

That I understand should get me pretty close to 350bhp although I`m not too bothered if I don`t achieve that. The turbo and FMIC are being done primarily because the existing ones have served their useful life and are now a little worse for wear lol

I'd go with the hybrid FMIC, significantly better fit and quality.

Apexi ECU will be a good ECU option...a fair bit cheaper than a Simtek....iirc £795 supplied, fitted and mapped (Andy Forrest).

440s + Fuel pressure reg may be a little too close to the edge. 550s might be a better option

Sort of, but it'll need the ESL board.

Have a look on www.JollyGreenMonster.com - Engine management specialist as this will show you the best options available, with prices.

Aren`t the apexi`s getting a little rare now? I`d heard they`d stopped production so finding them was getting awkward.

As for the autobahn fmic, I got it for £205 including delivery on a group buy not too long ago and I can`t fault the quality of it.
