Default Tune up bits. 15g, 803 injectors etc

Hi,
Having a clear out. All prices ex shipping (I'll do that at cost but as I'm in Ireland it won't be as cheap as internal UK shipping)

2 x 15g turbo's cone flange, clean, small crack in the wastegates (normal)
The centre clip is around somewhere. I'll look at the weekend. £60 each

4 x 0280150803 injectors £120

1 x 3" MAF £60

1 x V Cam £40

I also have a 531 head but I'll post that separately when I get the photos

Hi
Running a 2.3 940 Estate with MBC so poss 180bhp at present, what benefits would any/all of the items be to me?
How straight forward is a cam change?
Would the 3" MAF or bigger turbos be of any use to me or just give me more at the top end at the expense of low down..?
Do the cracks get any worse over time on these turbos or is that as far as they go?
Cheers
Tony H

Hi
I’m not the expert but ..... (in that someone is free to correct me)
Basically for tuning up it’s not one thing. There is no point in doing the MAF if your not also doing the injectors ( more air needs more fuel and just doing the MAF may not actually work) or getting more air with a higher flowing turbo. You’ve got to look at it holistically to do it right, and not turn into a rechipping, boost the crap out of it drift racer who blows the engine.

My understanding is the 15g is a nice upgrade and retrofits to the existing downpipe ( you need to clock them but there is a good thread on here about it). The cracks are fairly common on the wastegate and are usually stable. Again you need to make sure your done your stage zero stuff first.

Both the turbos are in good nick but have miles on them.
