Know you need 3 bar map £30
dark greens £100 2nd hand, although go for Siemens Blacks
chip (get from MSD, not sure what he charges for chips)
turbo ? t34 ? whats best ? if you want a genuine stage 3 you need a t34 with either a .48, .55 or .63 exhaust housing
rs 500 intercooler £200 2nd hand, or go for a 4x4 intercooler as that will cope with around 330bhp
headgasket opinions differ on this, i've gone for a grp a one, but if you're dont need changing dont do it
breather system - get a bailey oil breather, around £50 second hand
fuel pump - rewire the fuel pump to a live feed direct from battery, and if you have the money get a 044 pump -(044 pumps are about £130)
air filter? - just get a K&N panel filter
not wanting to change gearbox so what bhp will the transmission take, and be reliable. was going to take car to nms anyone recommend any others, Cheers rob - gearbox will cope with stage 3 no problem
