Stock Gts-t...which Mods?

[eMsta]

man - lots of little curries here these days (cept for basti - hes a lanky lankan)

from one lankan to another - your parents are going to hate it when you mod up your car. After my dad found out about the pod filter he said "you idiot" - or something to that effect in tamil.

any mods you put on the car, you will never get the money back - thats for sure. But depending on what mod you wanna do - just search first on the forums, then have a look at the sponsers or traders when it comes to buying the stuff.

EG - for the exhaust, I went with batmbls products and added a trust pe2 catback - so not too loud, but better response from the car (set me back 1500). Will be getting the dyno results today.

Most people end up doing the exhaust and pod/intercooler first followed by the powerfc and boost I think - well thats what I would have done too. Exhaust will be around 800 - 1500 (depending on what you wanna do), pod (100-150), intercooler (400 - 700), powerfc (around 900), bleed valve (i have no idea).

Oh and check with insurance before u do the mods - just in case.

yes good idea. The "5" "0" just happen to love stopping anything with nice round brake lights at the back, and having a 'p' plate on is even more cop bait.

yeh definantly an exhaust and POD CAI setup. will give you a good 20rwkw increase no problems. keep it nice and legal.

Personally I think a bleed valve is a waste of time. Get a manual boost controller or a complete EBC. You can get a manual boost controller that shouldn't spike and hold boost well for around $30.

The JustJap FMIC are pretty good for $345. I got the same kit with a tube and fin instead of bar and plate core.

have you had any problems with the silicon joints popping off? I can't boost it more than 8psi without the blue joints popping off. kinda sucks and silicon isn't cheap

It's sitting on my desk at home. You should get in touch with the JustJap guys they should help you out.

Is a pod really needed?? Will a good panel filter do the job just as good??

arguably something like a apexi panel filter will work more ‘efficiently’ and also suck in a lot less hot air compared to a open pod, but aftermarket panel filters (from my experience) don’t sound as good as a good pod (if you like that induction noise). What can I say, I’m a sucker for that. Excuse the pun.

[rev210]

The standard cold air box with a good element like a piper cross/K&N or similar is pretty decent.

As mentioned the Pod filter has more induction noise however if its contained in a good sealed airbox with a cold air feed tube the noise is no louder really. Perhaps a good sign if the cold air box is well made?
