I haven't time to double check everything, but as a very rough guide.
Current spec- 160bhp.
K&N cone- £70...not essential IMO, but it makes a nice noise
Mongoose Stainless exhaust- £300
Cat Cams- £400
Jamsport remap (essential to see the gains) £300
Gives a solid, usable and pokey little road engine.
Now...my plan is something i reeeeally wanna do for shits and giggles. I have most bits kicking around.
If i didn't have an ERST manifold i would totally source a FRS manifold. What are they? £50-80?
so, for arguments sake....bearing in mind the whole point for me is scrapyard tuning and an experiment.
FRS manifold £60
T3 turbo....£80-£350
Stock inlet and ECU....no cost, Jamsport have used these before.
Ebay intercooler or Saph one- £60-150
random silicon hoses i have in a box and as a very very basic list, that's about it, if required i have some FRS injectors at home too.
Jamsport remap £500
I would put 10psi in it and see what happens and i would fully expect to piss out 200bhp
