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?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
