No idea, I figured you would talk to a tuner or someone to do it - was just my suggestion :o

Uprate the fueling side,pump and injectors,put a front mount intercooler on and then get it mapped and up the boost.
In this equation it may cost a bit more than your £800.00 but you could sell your old intercooler to re-coup some of the cost.
That should put a snap in your neck that you won\'t forget.
Kind regards

Title: Apexi PFC & WGT
Post by: eatmyrx7dust on April 16, 2004, 08:43:45 AM
Have you got the commander for the PFC.
Check your boost - Pip at WGT is known for setting the boost at the lower stock boost value as in UK cars (0.7 I Think).
With your mods, you should be able to go to 8.5 on primary and 8 on secondary and still achieve 330-340 bhp whilst keeping fuel duty to about 85%.
Fuelling is important - definately consider fuel pump/injector upgrade - anything above 85% fuel duty is getting risky.

Saying that, commanders are more dangerous than mobile phones....I cant remeber the times i\'ve nearly crashed into the back of somebody whilst fiddling with settings whilst driving.

Remember don\'t \'Commander\' and drive !!!

Get yourself either the Bosch 044 or the NiponDenso 20B pump, as for the injectors get yourself the 1600cc injector kit. I will post a link a bit late when I have finished installing feature stoppers on Microcrap servers.

Here\'s the link to the site.

Keiths Rails (http://www.kgparts.com/newfuel.htm)

Good quality gear, with PROPER 1600cc injectors, not 1300cc injectors that are really just bored out 850cc units that some kits use.

PS. Have you thought about water injection? Would still give you some money left over to take the missus out for a nice dinner as well. :D
