Quick simple question for everyone.

"Of all the mods performed to your car (maybe new suspension, exhaust, a set of wheels, stereo gear, even that monster tacho)

which has brought the biggest smile to your face???"

I may as well start off. My fav mod would be the splitfire coilpacks, as after 6 months of constant misfiring whenever the car hit boost, problem solved and for a mod that wouldnt increase the cars power, it gave me back a lot of missing power.

Interested to hear everyone elses fav's

Luke...

(ps. purpose for this thread, secretly is to help sort the order my next group of mods)

ha, you luv your pod filter then spunky munky..., recently iv replaced the element in my HKS pod and its gone from the sucking sound (because the element was falling apart!) to a deep wurring sound like a ghost :) .

its not an expensive mod, more of a replacement but its something iv been happy with for under $50

apexi power fc..... due to its flexability and even tho the hand controller looks a little like an old gameboy its awesome to know exactly whats goin on with the engine: injector duty, boost, precise revs, precise temp and the list goes on! not a cheap mod but its payed itself off in 2 months in my eyes.

manual boost controller, gained an extra 15rwkw and a lot more response.

but i'll probably change my answer once the aftermarket ecu, injectors, high flow turbo go in :)

Removal of HICAS.

Some things are just not meant to be in existance.

lol.

For me it would have to be the HKS turbo, the increase in power and the awesome sound these things have always puts a smile on my face when coming onto boost.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
