Get an intercooler first - how much you want to spend? Starts from $400-$700+ depends on the brand and specs you want.

the t4 turbo wont be around for long a fair few ppl want it, should i bag the t4 then save for the intercooler? turbos are never 500...

How long have you had the car?:)......Be patient dude ..save some more money and then get some goodies and chuck them all at once.

You will feel the difference more if you do it that way. If you put an intercooler now, and thats it, you would feel bugger all difference and you are going to think that you just wasted your hard earn dollars. imho.

an intercooler is not a power gain

full exhaust from turbo back? or just cat back?

get a 2ndhand intercooler off ebay and do the pipe work and fitting yourself

look for a remapped r32 ecu off ebay

perhaps a bigger fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator wouldnt be a bad thing

and a RB25 stock turbo

fir the turbo and intercooler and boost to 12psi, install the fuel pump, get the regulator setup on a dyno with the remapped ecu and you should have a decent gain.

i think i also need a few guages to monitor my engine a little more.. i only have speed tacho, rpm and stock boost gauge, which is 7psi, mines already at around 11... so i have no idea.. do u reccomend obtaining gauges to put into the car?

Get an RB25 turbo + Intercooler + fuel pump anymore more than 12psi will require ecu work like a SAFC or remap. If you really want a t4 turbo you will need a t3 flange to fit it

yeah that or you can just put on some hks, nismo, g reddy stickers and that'll add an extra 50kw or so! :)

2nd hand remapped ecu from ebay - $250 at most

intercooler ebay - $200

Nismo fuel pressure regulator - $150

bosch 040 fuel pump - $150

rb25 turbo - $200

around a grand I suppose, but it would give a decent power-up IMO

Dood, what are you doing??

$600???

Keep it in the bank and focus on paying rent & bills.

Anything major that you do will probably need a decent ecu to cope followed by a tune.

Tune alone about 1/2 grand..........save your money if thats all you got.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
