Default Tuning question!!

Ok so me and the wife are going to be buying an escort cosworth or now it seems maybe an evo VI. (if i can make my mind up)

We also have 5 grand to spend on mods

Now if either car is standard, what bhp can we achieve with 5k??? not including suspension, brakes, bling etc.... (purely 5k on the engine)

On a Evo 2k will get you around 370hp + exhaust.

Tiff Autronic Ecu,Fuel pressure reg,Fuel pump,1.6bar boost, you need a exhaust,These reg show 275hp ATW which works out to 350 to 370hp ATF,
When you add Intercooler and airfilter up 295hp ATW.

Sounds good Mark

I always thought that it was very expensive to tune EVO's for some reason

Got me thinking now
