I have the same mods on my s2, 3" turbo back exhaust, pod, tube n fin front mount cooler. No boost controller but car runs ( in second stage) much higher boost than stock. Around 12psi. Due to the 3" dump etc.

Was thinking of getting an ebc like an avcr to turn it down and run say a flat 10PSI cos the car runs real rich now. Backfires n stuff under high boost, so instead i'm gonna get an safcII to tune the air/fuel ratio's so it does'nt run so rich. Arn't those turbosmart bleedtap style controllers ment to spike heaps? If your car runs anything like mine with those mods i wouldn't have a bleedtap.

For a cheap, yet reliable boost controller you could try a needle-valve one, for example turbotech (search this forum for $22 boost controller). More reliable than a bleed-valve. They work by restricting the pressure that the wastegate sees until the desired boost is reached, thereby building boost quicker than stock and many people have had good results with them.

I have a similar boost controller that I bought off ebay for $35 including postage and it works fairly well. Not as good as something like the AVCR but for the money you cant go past it.

I'd at least get an SAFCI (blue screen) or SAFCII to tune your Air/Fuel Ratios. Not only can this give you more power, it also makes your top end cleaner. You'll notice a difference. :D

I've got a S2 stagea, 3" turbo-back exhaust, the above-mentioned boost controller set to 11psi, safcI, tiptronic auto with shift kit, and I have 170rwkw (or approx 150kw at all 4 wheels, but it was tuned on a 2wd dyno).

Before the safc was installed it ran really rich at the top end and surged a bit then went really flat at the top end. After the safc was installed and tuned it was a completely different story. My power graph is smooth and so is the power delivery. There is no decrease in power right up to the redline.

It sounds great and runs perfect. I really love driving it now. I think the safc and a good tune will make the difference you guys are looking for. :(

Fuel pump,injectors ,coils,computer(All to be done at the same time due to tune)

Good time then to change oil pump and water pump, timing belt , bearings and bolts if you have not done.

Then suspension and brakes.

After you have spent 10K you will want to do turbo upgrade with a/m manifold.

If you have read this far you are a mod-do-holic and not even 1000hp will cure you :)

How much money do you want to spend?

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
