you've already posted this, why do it again?

some questions

what cold air intake?

what tyres?

what suspension mods?

the exhaust may be too small, a dyno run with the exhaust on and exhaust off will reveal that

the apexi safc is a piggyback, you dont need it as you have chosen stand alone engine management

the apexi rsm is a digital speed / tacho.

Yeah looks like you've got quite a few goodies that you dont even know what they are for. Anyway like others have said make sure its got 3" turbo back zorst, if its just 3" cat back then I would personally upgrade to split dump pipes plus highflow cat. Then you are ready for a tune. My guess is that you can make about 250rwkw+ but obviously depending on the tune, usually there are surprises/problems that can only be seen when having it tuned.

sorry for posting 2 similar topics

just interested in others opinions

I've actually already got a 3" exhaust system straight through, Hi flow cat with 3" in to 5" out turbo muffler at the rear.

didn't think i'd need an SAFC, but this loser at autobarn was trying to convince me otherwise. lol

Does an RSM really do anything worth while?

Can anyone else suggest things worth while getting for my project?

moral of that story.. dont listen to autobarn sales ppl lol

Too right... they talk so much shit.

Wouldn't they be better off hiring staff that know stuff bout cars etc.

rather than just people trained in retail

I had a very similar setup in my R33, i got 246.6kw atw on 16PSI. Had more in it. You should with a good tune make between 250-265. no worries.

In my opinion RSM's are a waste of money, you have a spedo & tacho in front of you. Why do you need another one?? The only thing half decent about it is the optional G sensor function.
