We hear this all the time. (my mates getting this car and i want to beat it) :lol: It depends on the MODS the Pulsar has. Ive seen a SSS pulsar eat an R33 for breakfast. The R33 had a FMIC, egzorst, and a hi flowed turbo from GCG running 15PSI.
Mind you the pulsar was an absolute animal, was running around 20PSI+ boost.
Find out waht mods your mate is gonna do. To be safe and really "smash" him id go for a full 3 inch egzorst, FMIC, more boost and even a bigger/hi flowed turbo.
Hope this helps, let us know how you go mate!
