as always depends on budget.

also sounds like you are running the standard ecu if you are only getting 183kw from 13psi...

probably high flow from GCG or hypergear sounds like your best bet along with a computer.

I also take it you have the full supporting mods for upping the turbo? (turbo back exhaust, front mount intercooler)

yeah i got a big front mount dump pipe 3 inch cat bak .. fuel pump and yes standard ecu ... sooo what size's are the turbos u are talking about and whats there price rang do u know? also i want to put new injectors in her aswell and a fuel presser reg

well any decent hks/garrett bolt on you are looking at $2.5-3.5k. High flows from GCG/Hypergear $1k-2.5k

computer $1k

injectors $600-800

all of the installation work and tuning probably about another $2k

u got a high flow cat? another $300 if not.

got an electronic boost controller? another $500 if not (if you are getting an upgraded turbo n computer dont use a cheap boost t)

is your budget blown to shit yet? (you are at a conservative 6 grand now...)

oh yeah, and expect the unexpected's when doing this kind of work n mods which add power and throw up other issues- add another $1-2k (seriously, id put money on it, happens to everybody)

do you even know what kind of condition your engine is in for these kind of mods (compression/leakdown test...)

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
