OK, so here's my car&mods.

Performance mods:

- Hybrid turbo (Machined TD04-14T with Big16G compressor wheel) @ 1.5 Bar
- Aquamist 1S waterinjection (currently just used for extra safety above 1BAR)
- Bigger fuel injectors 441cc/min Bosch (Stock injectors were just 312cc/min)
- JT-tuning 3" downpipe/sportscat/exhaust
- PiperX Viper Cold Air intake
- TME custom remap

Result: 3rd gear (1.3BAR) 275HP 430NM 4th gear (1.5BAR) 292HP 406NM
(Measured when ambient temp was 30 Centigrade)

Handling/stopping mods:

- Koni yellow sports shocks in the front (stock volvo in the back)
- Volvo strutbar
- Tarox g88 breakdisks + tarox pads + braided steel brakelines (not installed yet)
- Toyo proxes tyres, which gave me a LOT more grip than my previous Michelins


Other "Investments :-) "
- Boost gauge.
- Hours & hours & years of internet-research.

TBD:
- Bigger IC
- Samco hoses between turbo/IC/trottlebody

I've only got a 440 1.8 Xi but I've tried to get it a bit quicker!
Just a few thing
decat exhaust
pipecross free flow air filter
cold air feed
NGK racing spark plugs and ignition leads
Optimax (when I can afford it! Not looking good at the Moment)

It's not as impresive as the other cars but I can get 130mph out of it and it's quick enough to 60 to scare off some so called hot hatches!

RE: Post Your Car's Modifications
 

Dai,
My wagon is already slightly lowered........and awaiting some more work to fill in the 70 odd trim holes around the body. I just need the time to do it.

RE: Post Your Car's Modifications
 

The car is pretty much standard except for:

Virgos - 205/55 at the rear
Nakamichi CD35 - which overheats too quickly!!
2* BBG Amps
1* 12" sub
White front Indicators.
