What make of boost gauge? When you say boost valve do you mean bleed valve ? Under bonnet one? I would go for cossy brake first then bigger like intercooler front mounted then T3 stage2 chip 701's injectors stage 2 chip cossy fuel pump uprated cam kit

Yeah mate bleed valve under the bonnet, not boost valve, my boost gauge is from autogauge its smokefaced looks good at night had to buy the pillar aswell because the gauge is moulded into it. :aviator:

Clutch will throw the towel in once you go beyond 170bhp. AP Racing Organic is up to the job and not too painfull on the wallet.

Brakes and suspension tweeks are a must before seeking out more power. Your £1500 won't go as far as perhaps you would hope. However you should be able to pep the car up a bit and give it a bit more go to make you smile

The suspension is on mate ive got the spax adjustable all round tensioners, i will definatly do the brakes cus the standard ones are sh*t. The reoson i ask is because my standard turbo's on its way out so im thinking of putting the T3 turbo on with the beige injectors and having the stage 2 remap 195bhp, then having her setup, would i need a bigger intercooler to do this?

I would start with the t3 the the cossy brakes it's a case of keeping your eye open for the rest and start storing it up till your ready

Adding the T3 won't give any more power. What it will do is open the door for more power and hold boost all the way through the revs. The engine consumes more air than the weedy T2 can produce after about 5k rpm.

Yes it will... lower ACT's giving you more mid range torque.

the brakes you want are for sale in the for sale forums, ST150 callipers and disks £150, pm knuckles for em

they will most likely pull you out of your seat and onto the bonnet

How did you come to that conclusion. I tested with thermocouples before and after the T3 and recorded no difference that couldn't be attributed to the differences in ambient temperature. If there is any difference at all it is minimal at standard boost levels.

Would i get more bhp out of a T3 running say 18psi, or would running a T2 at 18psi be the same? im really confused now?

t3 would produce more power at same psi as it is a bigger turbo.
listening for costly strange noises????

At that level you should see a gain in peak power and it will hold the power all the way through the rev range.

T3. Injectors. Fuel pump. Chip. Map sensor. Setup. = around 210bhp. Need to drop the compression ratio a bit to go higher. Cost around £2k for that little lot, including fitting.

Then you got a bargain. I was talking how much it'd cost from a professional tuner, roughly.
