So, if i fit an intercooler and turn the boost up a bit. what would be the minimum requirements to ensure smooth operation. Have been scanning thru the site and have seen what various ppl have done but i would like opinions on what is essential so i can prioritise. any help appreciated.

What boost are you currently running and what do you want to be running?

 

 

do you have a boost controler ?

 

The car is at stock boost at moment. i have exhaust to fit tho havent seen it and will also fit double de-cat, also have hks boost controller.

 

am not sure what i want to run. again opinions welcome but something around 1.1 - 1.2 would be nice

You mean you haven't got one!?

 

;)

 

Depends on your final goals too. If you're happy to stick with BPU then most suggest the Chris Wilson SMIC replacement due to it's efficiency and quality.

I'm running a 1.2 restricter ring with a standard (good condition) SMIC - seems ok at the moment. We'll see on hot days.

run 1.1 .. no higher.

 

all you are going to need is the exhaust, decat pipes, intercooler and boost controler and you should be fine!

I havent as yet. looking at hks fmic tho. tbh i am not wanting to go insane for power. i would be happy with bpu or maybe slightly more. restrictor ring will be a must if a de-cat i believe?. should change plugs aswell? and fuel pump?
