thanks for the heads up for what to expect down the track

you absolutely right in what you say but i said it did have an aftermaket ecu but that has been removed and how the hell do you tell if the turbo has been hiflowed, metal turbine when it within the same housing .yeah i know i should got a test performed but i fell into the mistake of letting my heart take over my mind.. he is chasing up the receipt for the turbo though so eventually one way or another i will find out but it definatley goes harder than a stocky with just exhaust/pod/fmic etc. anyway i do appreciate your comments none the less and thanks...

Hey Dazza its my workshop so tell me what you want and i will give you a price.

ah ha... cool david.

I firstly would love a dyno to see what I am looking at with the present setup.

I dont plan getting an aftermarket ecu or increase the boost at all as it goes hard enough and i will be daily driving it as it is.

I do plan on getting another muffler put in as I want to be legal with noise & EPA and i plan on putting the standard airbox back in if i can (depending on fmic piping.(you may know if this is possible without cutting it up?)

So once this is done then possibly a tune..

I dont think its had a major service done so I suppoes this in lieue of the tune (above)..

I dont want an animal of a car so any advice would be appreciated and your so close its not funny...

any advice would be appreciated as well Dave....

Dazza

Hi dazza as i wrote in the email,

the only way to tune a stock ecu is a re map and if you want that can be done later.

A power run will let you know what you currently have and how it is running.

Any jap cat back with a mid mount and rear muffler will be legal and give it a nice rb note.

As for a major service that would include new water pump timing belt tensioner and idler always good while the front is off to put in a new thermostat oil plugs coolant then diff and gear box oil as well for the full works then the usual checks.

The cost start to add up in just parts for a major service.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
