  1. do a search for some of the many posts by sydneykid regarding shorter cooler pipes and how removing 20cm of pipe is going to make no difference, but to do the maths

    at 3000 rpm and zero boost / vac your 2.5L engine is consuming 3750L of air per minute or 62.5L per second

    assuming u save 20cm of pipe and that its 2.5inch pipe that will have a volume of approx. 1.5L in that pipe.

    so your engine will consume that air in 0.024 of a second, now add boost etc....to the equation and is it worth sacrificing your aircon for 0.024s of throttle response

    sorry if this is wrong but as my understanding goes this is how it'd work

  2. there are 2 BP's near me, one charges 10c above regular unleaded, regardless, always 10c the other one seems to set a price which doesn't change, somedays ultimate will be 2c more then regular but other days it might be 15c dearer, it seems he only changes the ultimate price every shipment or somethong, not sure but it's worked in my benefit many a time

  3. ummmm sort iff in a way, but if u can imagine if your nuts on your wheel is lose and u go over a bump, it sounds more like that.

    mate you can't describe a noise by a problem, if you says it sounds like a wheel nut then its a wheel nut, what does it really sound like, short thump, clunk, snap ???

    air realsed sound ?

    metal on metal, metal on plastic ?

  4. well 260 rwkw will deffo require a turbo upgrade, so doing things like manual bleed valves anf fancy dumps at the moment are kinda waste of cash, if you are going to do all this in a relatively small period of time, go for things like the intercooler, fuel pump, fuel reg, pod, and and 3" cat and cat back exhaust.

    then once you've saved your pennys go for the injectors, AFM, ECU, turbo route, all these require the aftermarket ECU, so doing all at once will mean you only need to get it tuned once, all you can put a fancy dump on at this point.

    as for clutch, tyres suspension etc...that can all wait but don't expect your clutch to last very long at all with 260 rwkw, mine died before i hit 200....might even die on the dyno, who knows but be prepared

    tyres, well if u can avoid spinning them (have fun with 260 rwkw) they should be no different, but every time u loose traction then you are going to need new tyres

    suspension, well again its optionaly but if u dont' wanna die its something u should consider
