hoff Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have around £300 to spend on the car at the moment so wondered before just buying some pretty stuff if there is anything that I could get to help improve performance and/or improving the life of a BPU engine. My mind is blank on anything for that sort of money. My set up is currently: J-Spec NA-TT auto, BPU - Boosting to aprox 1.2 bar, Front mount, Boost controller, UK brakes, Tien lowering springs, Diffuser, I also have boost, oil temp and AFR gauges. The only things that I can think in the kind of area I'm thinking of and within my budget are maybe an oil cooler and oil pressure gauge. What are your thoughts? Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fior wheels, I've had 4 sets in 3 years and dont dare start thinking of more:D EGT gauge would be my choice Yes, that will be on the list:) Or a full detail from Stonkin , the difference is amazing when you have this done I had thought of this and will be an option if nothing performance wise comes up. It's a long drive but my paintwork needs a breath of fresh air. Fuel pump New Fuel Filter if not been done for a while I'd get the geometry checked/aligned plus given a service. A geo set up and service has been done in the last couple of weeks:) Chrome TRD strut, polsihed brake servo, master and cams...the list is endless, though your budget may not be Hoffmeister Raymondo, you are certainly on my mind if I cant improve on BPU for the budget:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
