Welcome to SAU mate!

With the recommended workshops in the Sydney area, have a look in the NSW Section, there should be a list of workshops. Search about each workshop if you're a bit worried to get an idea of people's experience with the workshop.

Only thing I see as a 'decent' upgrade for the NA is a full exhaust and a high flow panel filter. There's not really much else to do to get some power that's cheap (as far as I know).

Here's the standard specs of your car mate.

Not too practical at all, it's generally cheaper to just buy the turbo model as it's only a couple grand more than an N/A. Depends what you want too, if want like 300-350kW your going to have replace everything on the turbo model anyway in which case the N/A would probably be as good choice as modifying the stock turbo car.

Thing is I got my car prwetty cheap ansd was thinking about installing the stock GTT turbo, to get some extra kick out of the car. basixcally gwet it asd quick as a stocxk GTT.

Welcome buddy and congratulations on your purchase.

Post up some pics... I would suggest, get a cat-back exhaust system, pod-filter and then get some nice rims... that'll do you for a while.

Good luck,.

Keep it simple is the trick... if you get an exhaust, get one that gives you good sound and performance - don't go cheap.

if you bought the 34 cheap.... sell it and buy a r34gtt

simple.

The thought has crossed my mind and I think thats what Ill end up doing, I always have this inherint fear of buying turbo cars of people due to the fear of them being thrashed by the guy before me though.
