Hi there, and WTTC. You certainly did a top class job in bringing the faff back to life! One sharp looking motor you got yourself there! You done any engine/performance mods to it?

standard list, a boost gaugeand boost controller(electronic is best but pricey, or a mechanical relief valve. dont use a bleed valve, takes longer to build boost), stainless de-cat downpipe, and a bov. that should get you around the ~280 bhp mark. Other worthwhile bang-for-buck mods include full cat-back exhaust (hks or mongoose are favorites), and a straight air intake with cold air box and cone filter. With all that you could potentially be pushing around 320 bhp. You could aslo opt for a FMIC but the st205 chargecooler does a great job and FMIC is a tricky job.
But before doing any mods, make sure engine and box are in good condition and been maintained well, regular fluid and belt changes when necessary.

I know i'm a bit late but... Top Job!!!
It's great to see an unloved motor get a second chance (esp. a Four).

Even later, but definitely stunning and some great work there - I suspect we could benefit from your cosmetics advice. White is definitely the way forward |
