[Yasir Raja]

Hi All,

Intercooler Kit

Coilovers

blow-off valve

boost gauge

air intake pod

nistune+dyno

turbo timer + auto start system

any ideas guys how much it will gonna cost me in total...dont want used parts would rather prefer new ones with good brands

fuel pump

Your mods don't add up to big power. Unless your existing pump is on the way out - why bother? If you do need one, there are plenty of options out there - walbro, nismo etc. You'll probably be looking at $300+ including pump to get this fitted depending on the brand of pump.

blow-off valve

Your existing blow-off valve should be fine. Changing it to aftermarket will get you defected. As you've already said you're in SA - the cops will know what they're looking for, and you will be sent to Regency for a full inspection.

boost gauge

If you have a GTT, your car should already have one.

air intake pod

Un-necessary. If you do want one - go down to Autbarn, pick up a K&N - but make sure you follow the laws and get it securely attached to the body, or this will be considered a defect.

turbo timer + auto start system

Both of these are illegal under the ADRs as they allow the vehicle to run whilst it does not have keys in the ignition. With regards the turbo-timer, it's entirely not needed with today's turbos - if you've been driving hard, and you're concerned, take it easy for the last 5 minutes of the trip and ensure your oil temperatures have a chance to come down.

Coilovers

You'll need to be careful what you purchase here. Many coilovers won't pass a Regency inspection (though you may be lucky). Typically those are able to be lowered more than legal ride height and haven't been engineered will score you a defect or not let you past a Regency inspection. Expect to pay $1500+ including fitting here.

Intercooler Kit

nistune+dyno

Both good plans here, but you'll also need to consider a full 3" turbo-back exhaust to get the most out of it. Ensure that it's of a legal exhaust noise or once again - it will get picked up by police, and it will not pass a Regency inspection.

Expect to pay $1000-1200 for the exhaust, $700+ for the intercooler (+ more for fitting, depending what you get), nistune + dyno time will probably set you back another $1000 or so.

As these are all 'go fast' modifications, I also suggest you look at ensuring the car handles and brakes better, amongst other things:

• A good quality alarm. Every coupla weeks we see cars getting stolen. Get something good, don't park it in dodgy areas. Also look at extra security items like kill switches and club locks.
  
• Upgrade your brake package - better pads, rotors, braided brake lines, etc.
  
• As you've listed coilovers above, any significant lowering will require camber kits if you don't want to wear your tyres out within 10,000km. At this point you'll probably want to also fit a castor kit, and maybe stiffer swaybars.
  
• A good quality set of tyres. This is your contact patch between your and the ground - most people underestimate how important a good set of tyres are to both handling and stopping.
  

Good luck with your car.
