Title: Power........

Turbo II........

What power could i expect from investing in an air filter, an exhaust, boost controller and a re-map?

Are 16\'s acceptable with v.low profile rubber if the car is decked?

Cheers for any advice.

I dont really reccommend low profile rubber if your already lowering the car, the ride will be awful.
 The power available will depend on these factors:-

 How many miles has the engine done from new or since its rebuild?  Is the compression good?
 What type of exhaust system will you be getting?  Best results are obviously from the turbo back.

 Each car is different, but if you were to fit a turbo back exhaust system, decent induction kit, and ECU with a good boost controller running sensible boost (less than 12psi without knowing the enigne inside out)

 You could probably achieve a 40-60bhp increase.  no telling how long the lump or the turbo would last though.

You\'d be better off talking to one of the specialists if you want exact figures and prices.
