DREMEN: you wont need to worry about injectors and fuel system until you start running bigger turbos etc.

If you havent already done the front section of your exhaust ie the dump pipe, front pipe and cat then do that first.

Following that a Power FC will give you a substancial increase.

After that you start looking at rebuilding/replacing your turbo, which will then present the need for bigger injectors etc in your quest for more horsepower.

* Full exhaust (if it isn't already), this'll give you better midrange response and an increase of around 7-10rwkw

* Exhaust side Cam Gear

* Good Tyres (no point having heaps of power if you can't put it to the ground)

* How many km's has it done? If its more than 70,000 throw a new clutch in it, you'll be suprised at the difference

Forget about a bigger turbo and aftermarket ecu for now, theirs still more to beat out of your standish setup before you look for the easy way out. Besides once you start throwing on a bigger turbo you often forget about the tiny little things that can make a difference.

OK its done over 70, 000km's so I would be looking at new clutch

I will run 12 psi through it (We will increase it on the dyno to check for detonation)

High flow cat - I don't want to remove the standard because I just got ripped hard by the EPA 2 weeks ago :D

Dump pipe...

Cobra exhuast do a high flow cat & dump pipe for $700ish

What about an apexi AVCR?

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
