j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sounds like a nice car. If it's not already de-carted then that's the next think you want to do. As for an intercooler, you could go front mount, but Whifbitz do upgraded side mount intercoolers which will cope with BPU, and that's what I'd go with. You'll also want a boost controller at some point. Also, if it's running J spec brakes I'd want to upgrade before going BPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) And a restrictor ring if you decat it so the boost doesn't go running off, if its a j spec. Differant grade plugs and if its been sat around for a while before doing any upgrades i'd be checking the the brakes, the brake lines, changing all the fluids, engine, g box, diff, brake, coolant and basicly give it a good look over all the mechanical bits, the paintwork should be the last thing to do Edited June 25, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The mines ECU is a bit if an unknown. It's not remappable, its basically a stock ecu that's ben fettled. Mines ECU's don't need a fuel cut defender, and do some trickery with the timing IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Re Mines ECU's theyre mapped to a customers specs, you used to be able to find out exactly what had been done by mailing Mines with the serial number but I think theyve stopped doing that. I had a Mines before and its a bit more than a breathed on stock ECU, it had an extra circuit board on top. But expect timing changes, boost and rev limit increases.
